Crying out to God

God has always been so good to me. He is patient and usually gives me a heads up when life is about to change. 

As I sense these changes arising, I can't help but try to take matters into my own hands. I have to be reminded DAILY that God is the one who is in charge and will make things happen in his time. 

I was taught a lesson in control this past weekend. I flew to Atlanta so I could go to Ft Benning to attend my brother's ARMY Ranger graduation. The graduation was great and I'm so thankful to have been able to spend a few days with him. When it came time to fly home, 2016 blizzard Jonas had other plans. As Philly got pounded with 20+ inches of snow and wind gusts over 40mph, I found myself stranded in Atlanta. 

Aaron decided to just drive back to Bragg, but I had to sit and wait. I rebooked my flight 5 times, but in the end I had to wait it out. God came through in such an amazing way. I was able to stay with my friend's family. Although I totally imposed on their birthday party, I met some amazing Christian people and had a great time. 

I'm definitely thankful to be home, but I'm blessed to be reminded by how much God cares about the stresses and details of our lives. And thankfully my car is all dug out!
