God is Still in Control

On January 1 of this year, I wrote down a list of things I want to do and accomplish this year. I wrote things like, I want to publish my second book. I want to market the children's curriculum I wrote, and a few other things. But, today, as I sit here at M.D. Anderson Cancer Center next to my sister's hospital bed, watching the infusion of "treatments" going into her body, I can't help but think, "This was not on my list of things to do this year."

It's amazing how God can change your plans. On March 10, my sister's doctor called with the dreadful diagnosis of breast cancer. Her life... our lives changed. But I know that God is still in control. When I feel like crying, or feel like questioning God, I remember that God made us for His good pleasure, to do with us whatever He wills. "For we are His workmanship, created in Christ Jesus for good works..." (Ephesians 2:10).
