A couple of weeks ago I heard a sister bear her testimony in church. She told about a fellow she knew who lost his job and was out of work for a long time. Eventually he found another job, but he said he wished he'd known everything would be ok, because he would have taken advantage of the time off to play with his kids and spend time with his wife, and just enjoy the freedom he had instead of worrying.
Then she told about a friend who had spent ten years trying to have a family. Eventually she and her husband adopted, but this lady said she sure wished she'd known everything would turn out ok, because she and her husband wasted those ten years worrying about having children. If only she'd known they would end up with a wonderful family they could have enjoyed those years of sleeping through the night uninterupted and being able to go out whenever they wanted.
Then this sweet sister told about herself. She said she had been going through some difficult times, and one evening she was kneeling beside her bed, pouring her heart out to the Lord. She asked him if he could please just assure her that everything would be ok. A sweet feeling of peace came over her and and it was as if she felt the words, "I love you. Trust me, I'm in control. You know in the end everthing will be ok."
It's funny, isn't it, that sometimes we forget whose plan this really is.and to trust Him and just enjoy the journey.
