I Lost It, God's Got It

Here we are, June 1st is only several hours away, I have no idea what happened to the month of April or May. It seems I was busy, I travelled to a few places and then I turned around and blinked a few times and the months were gone.

 Life has been a blurr of activities....the one year mark of Jonathan's passing, the death of  a friends baby, a sister-in- laws surgery to remove a painful cyst on her overy, spending a weekend at a widows seminar and making decisions for our business.

 Isn't it amazing how God shows Himself even in the midst of our disappointments and struggles. Many times when I feel totally out of control, when I am at the end of the rope, when I see no way to take the next step, when I can only BELIEVE that he has a PLAN and Purpose, when I lay it before the GREAT MASTER PLANNER, then He shows me His Power and His ability to take care of it all. Recently I was having a day when I was discouraged, worried, and just could not see the next steps for my journey. I was at Wal-mart and I was having a hard time concentrating on my purchases...I guess I was not doing a very good job of trusting God. Just as I got to the end of an aisle a lady wearing a purple shirt came around the corner just in time for me to read the words on her shirt "God's Got That". I was so shocked by those words, they were just exactly what I needed at that moment! I wanted to scream, hug her, or cry but I didn't do any. I kept on walking like a good little Mennonite that doesn't cause scenes at Wal-Mart. But my heart felt so much lighter...all those worries and stresses were now God's....He's got them.. I just needed to leave them with Him! I was truely touched by God that day at Wal-Mart and I have felt so blessed by His kindness.

There are many things I want to write in the near future but tonight I simply wanted you to know that I am still alive and well. God's got me covered, I'm trusting Him and life goes on.
