Feel like your Life is Falling apart?

I sit and watch and learn a lot of things.One thing I have come to learn is that no matter what happens in your life,or maybe I should say our lives, is that God is in control and has a reason for everything that happens.When we feel as if we are in a hurricane do we blame God?Sometimes that is what it takes for him to get our undivided attention.My Mom use to have to tell me all the time....and sometimes she still does..you are not doing what God would have you do.I use to tell her that she was wrong.She wasn't.I was 42 years old when I finally got myself right with the Lord.Boy did I miss out on a lot of wonderful things because of my refusal to say I was wrong.Here is what I learned today...

* Everything we have is in God's hands.
* God and evil do not hang out.(Dark can't stand the light.)
* Be willing to listen to God And expect to hear from him.
* Life is not about us it is about God.
* God has the battle it is not ours to fight
* There is nothing you can hide from God.( So why do we try at all?)

I know this,I want my heart to chase after God. I want to be the best servant possible.I want to teach the same to my children,some are going through some very hard times that I pray will put them back close to him and not wait until they are in their forties

Any way that is a small part of what I have learned today there was a lot more.Pray for my Family as some are hurting.Pray that it draws them closer to God instead of pushing them the opposite way.
