God is sovereign. Colleen, God is sovereign over ALL things. He is sovereign over seasons of life, duty stations, adoptions, marriage, mothering, and if you can fit in your run today. He is sovereign over disagreements with Barrett, with Annabelle falling headfirst down metal playground stairs…and her waking up right when I am writing this…
Take two (24 hours later)…God is sovereign over Annabelle screaming in the night, my tiredness, my family in the states, and the counseling we do. I need that reminder.
I need that reminder when I can’t make people I love get along. I need that when I’m running late…again. I need that when the adoption falls through and I’m not pregnant…again. I need that when I realize no matter how much I want to control my day, I can’t. I need that when my computer just won’t obey simple commands.
If I truly understood and lived out that the Lord is sovereign, I would trust Him in all things. Fear of all faces would vanish. Disappointment when people fail my exceptions would disappear. I would never lose control because I would know that the Lord is in control. Oh how I long for heaven to see the Lord fully…yet here I remain. To grow in my understanding of the Lord and to trust Him in all things. ALL THINGS. To rest in Him when all is seemingly spiraling. Now about those incessantly barking dogs…
