Vision

Carson went to the doctor this morning. I have to admit that it is consuming my thoughts. Apparently, one of her tear ducts is not functioning correctly. The doctor is going to have to operate on her and probe it. I am very upset at the thought of her having to suffer through this. Especially since she has to be put under and stay at the hospital for a day. I know it is minor but when it is your baby girl...nothing is minor.
This afternoon, I realized it was my vision that needed to be fixed...not Carson's. How could I ever doubt him? How could I ever think that something is too big or too small for him? How could I not rest in him? How could I not feel secure and know that he will take care of everything. Oh...my little faith.
God is in control of everything...and he is good. Sure, we may not get things the way we want them all the time, but what Dad would do that to his children. Of course, there are going to be tough times, but we were never told that there would not be. I have no doubt that God sees things in ways that we don't.
I wonder...what is stressing you out today? What is consuming your thoughts? Most of the time we stress and worry about things that we can't even control. We have lied to ourselves and actually believe that we can manage our own lives. The tighter we grip and try to can control...it seems like we lose it even more. I want to challenge you to let go. Allow God to have complete control of your worry, fear, anxiety, and pain. In that moment, you will find peace...peace so thick you can breathe it!
