... the Lord is so merciful. As I reflect on what the Lord has provided in my life for the past 31 years I am overwhelmed with His provision. Seriously, if you think about it -- how many of us would have had our lives be what they are today, with our past as it has been. Exactly what I thought :)

But, what a great reminder it is - that although I make plans and try to have "control" of my life, I most surely do not.

But God knows -- Isaiah 55:11 "So is My Word that goes out from My mouth: It will not return to Me empty, but will accomplish what I desire and achieve the purpose for which I sent it."
