whew! what a month!

I was reminded today that God is faithful. That His promises are yes and amen, and that He does give us the desires of our hearts. There have been some things recently in my life that I have made way too big of a deal about… mundane things that with eternal eyes don't have a lot of significance. Then there are things that I have been focusing on, that do have a lot of eternal value but I have realized that those things need to be handed over. How am I expected to do all of this alone? I'm not. My God is still in control, He's got the whole world in His hands, and He loves me more than I could ever imagine or comprehend. Even though it’s not easy- I need to remember. My God is an awesome God. What else do I need in this world? So what if a friendship doesn't work out or if I don't get the guy I've had my eyes on, or if I don't get the car I've been wanting. What if? People have gone through life with a lot less than I have and they are some of the happiest people in the world. As long as I love my Creator and put my trust in Him, life may smack me right in the face, but at least knowing that He's got my back, that'll take away the sting a bit.

As I held baby Ava Lynn Stewart [a.k.a. Dora the Explorer Stewart], I realized that life really is beautiful, God has the whole world in His hands, and Jesus does love the little children of the world [heck, why else would He have made such a little miracle that we can hold in the palm of our hands?].
