Gods Hands

This post is for me really, Because I want to remember. I know that as time passes we start to forget things, and I want to remember that I saw God in the midst of horrible circumstances... I saw Gods hand even in this.
I had all intentions of going to the Dr by myself yesterday, at the last minute our schedule changed and Josh was able to come with me, God knew that I would need him there with me, I saw Gods hands.
I was just in the specialist office on Friday, !FRIDAY!, everything was fine, and then between Friday and Monday something happened. I don't know what, I don't understand why, but I do know that I could have been at the specialists office when they told me the news and that would have been so hard for me. Instead I was at Dr. Johnsons, my regular Dr. who cares, who understands, who wants this for us as badly as we want it. That was God, I saw his hands.
I want to understand why this happened again, and believe me I have asked God that question. I realize though that sometimes we don't know, we may never understand and when we really stop and think asking God or understanding why, thats not our job... Faith is about trusting God no matter what. This is what I am trying to remember, what I am holding on to... God has a plan and He alone is in control.

Parker family...our thoughts and prayers are with you during this difficult time. I really don't have any words of comfort or relief other than I know for a fact that God has an incredible plan for you and your family. I cannot wait to see what wonderful things he has in store for you and I believe he is only walking with you through this so that you will become the strong woman I know you are meant to be. Everyday I find it harder and harder to understand "why"...but I think the things that have happened are only so that I will realize that God is bigger...that everything functions because of Him...people hurt, people suffer, people cry, people love, people live all for Him...I don't understand it and I'm definately a thinker and an asker and I need to know reasons...but I just don't. I love you and your family Char and please don't ever hesitate if there is ever anything you need. I've kinda learned the hard way that a person can have thousands of friends, but the true ones that let me cry I can count on one hand. Thank you for being one of those friends. Still in my prayers~Tracy

I am sorry for your loss. If you are up to story time on Sunday, please come. I won't work you at all. You can sit on the couch. Chris C. will be my helper. We are studying the story of St. Patrick. We will play with green play dough and have clover cookies if I can find them. Both the girls can come if you or J stay with them. Love,Sheila
