Who's in Control?

Since we were snowed in for much longer than what we all expected, I spent a lot of time thinking about a lot of different things. But, after so many thoughts, the only conclusion was reminding me of who was in control....and obviously God.
First, I think God sometimes does things to remind us who is in control. He can simply cover the ground with 5 1/2 inches of snow and shut our whole city down for a week. Everyone is always so busy going here, going there, paying this bill, going to this meeting, going out to dinner with this person, etc. I think a lot of times God does things to slow us down, put us back in perspective, give us a break, and to hopefully turn our focus back to him.
And if you think about it for just a split second, God is in so much control and has a perfect plan for anything and everything...creating beautiful and perfect babies; creating wonderful friendships that last no matter what and knowing you can always pick up the phone and they'll be there; being that friend back; watching one of your good friends go through the pain of her Mom dying so unexpectedly while being pregnant with her first baby; watching your Mom fight cancer (two times) and doing it with such courage and grace; watching two friends bury their newborn baby and be the two strongest people you have ever witnessed; looking at the stack of bills you have to pay and the amount in your checking account, knowing that you'll never make it, and then somehow you do; falling in love; answered and unanswered prayers.
Just remember...God always has a plan wether we realize it or not...we aren't in control of anything and nothing is coincidence...God can change anything in a blink of an eye and everything He gives and creates is simply a perfect and precious gift.
