it's weird because i don't things in the world have been so unsettled like they are today. as i read this morning, watched last night, and heard on the radio on the way to the office today, everything seems to be going haywire. whether economy, jobs, health, climate change, or life, it doesn't seem to really matter.
if it exists, it's going bonkers.
in my time of reading, it's moments like these that God will use to create stability in His people. when all else fails, He won't. when all else seems to crumble, He doesn't. when it's too hot, He's just right. when injustice gets worse, He gets better. when....He....
i've been learning that during the instability, i will be the stability that God will use to navigate people through these hard times. it's not that i'm better than most. on the contrary, i find myself among the general public in the u.s. just trying to get by. and still, i'm not freaking out. i really think that this is part of the 'mystery of the gospel' that paul refers to.
how can you stay calm when all else is going off?
how can you not lose sleep when people keep getting laid off?
how you can you...finish the sentence.
i can because He is, was, and will be. in control, on top of things, planning out time for His best interests.
thank goodness that i'm not in control He is.

that's exactly how I feel.
thankfully we haven't been much affected by all the craziness. in fact, I just got hired at a new job and Alex will probably be getting a pay raise soon. God has been good to us. But even if something happens and we lose the stability of our jobs/home/etc...we still have stability in God...and that is just so comforting.
