Summer Update

WOW!
It's been a whirlwind summer. I can't believe how the time has flown by. God has been so good to us. I look back in awe at the faithfulness of our Creator. I'm so glad that my life is not a series of random events that just occurred by happenstance. Abba Father has intricately woven a unique and perfect plan for us. Nothing happens that was not in His divine and perfect will. It doesn't mean that things go smoothly and easily, but that when faced with trials, HIS grace sustains me. I rest in that peace knowing nothing is out of his control. I can stress and worry until the sun goes down, but that doesn't change his sovereignty and control. Thank you God, You are unchanging and firm.
