Amanda is home from the hospital and doing quite well for all that she has been through in the last few weeks. The doctor said that everything went well and she should be on the mend very soon.
The kitchen is full of food and flowers due to the thoughtfulness of the people in their church. There is no need left unmet. We praise God for His provision.
I would like to write just a little bit tonight about biblical thinking and how doing such is so essential when you go through the trials of life.
God is sovereign over everything that happens in our lives. We do not go through life having things take us by chance or depending on luck. We don't go floundering around in a state of emotional upheaval.
Everything in a believer's life is perfectly planned out by God before we are even conceived. He knows the paths that we will take and everything in our life that we will need to grow spiritually. He leads us and guides us as we walk through the "valley of the shadow of death."
The most amazing thing is that when these times come we can go through them with the strength of the Holy Spirit helping us remember the truth of God's word and all of His promises to us.
We don't know why this baby was taken from us, but we know that it was God's will and plan altogether and we trust Him so much that we know it is right. Oh yes, there are tears, but in our hearts and minds there is peace.
A few weeks ago our pastor preached a long series on, "Do all Babies go to Heaven when they Die?" The answer is a definite yes proven by weeks and weeks of Scripture study. I have the tapes if you desire to hear them. What about that for timing? God knew we needed to know this truth.
All is well here because of God and His truth and His Son and the Holy spirit.
Praise God from whom all blessings flow.
cathy
