Who's in charge?

I know that God has everything under control, but...

Yesterday at church I cried at seeing what God has done for me in the way of my church family.  A year ago, I was church homeless in that I had left a church and was visiting another one, but I knew I wouldn't join it.  In July Abiding Grace Lutheran had their first worship on my birthday.  We have been meeting at a Montessori school gym since early fall.  Now the building is going to be sold and we will have to find a new place.  Worry much -- no because I know God has done wonderful things for Abiding Grace and have no reason to worry.

Last night, I was checking my email before I went to bed.  I received the unfortunate news that a friend's fiance had died in a car accident.  Why???  They were so in love.  His first marriage had ended in divorce and now he had fallen in love again.  Why did she die?  As I ask "where was God?"  I know he was there holding her as she died in her car and whisked her away to heaven-- but why?  What about my friend who is left here on earth without her.  I know that God has everything under control, but ...   All night I kept waking up and each time I said a prayer for my friend.

Kevin and Amy are moving to Austin.  I know that God has been holding Kevin in the palm of His hand for the last 24 years.  So I keep praying that he keeps holding him and I add a prayer that he finds a job and that Amy doesn't hurt my son.  I like Amy, but a mom sometimes sees a son's love interest as someone who might hurt her son.  I pray that doesn't happen!

I know that God has everything under control so I keep praying and I keep hoping.  I know that the final victory has been won.  The "battles" here on earth are just piddly little ones in comparison!
