today, I have no control over...

- the economy;
- the 20 month old who has decided to start "flinging" herself out of her playpen, just days before I leave the country, with little or no time to transition her into a bed;
- that same 20 month old falling asleep by the door each night;
- that our VP is a raging lunatic to get on national tv telling folks not to stay in confined spaces, such as buses, planes, EVEN classrooms;
- that the VP's hair is starting to look more like Donald Trump's;
- that this stupid flu has my mother calling every day to "check on us";
- that I have a blinding headache, from 2 minutes sleep last night (see above 20month old antics);
- that the airport in Hungary is potentially going to scrutinize us more because we are from the US;
- that as I type this, the 3 yr old WILL NOT stop touching the keyboard (okay, maybe I could exert some control over that, had I slept more than 2 minutes last night).

I guess most days we comfort ourselves with the things that seem to be going well, the things we THINK we have UNDER CONTROL. I have to admit I HATE IT when people chirp "God is in Control" - 1. because I think the phrase is GROSSLY over used. 2. because I want to be in control. So today, I will search for comfort in a Sonic Coke (32oz), a nap (hopefully) and in the Scriptures. The author of all life knows all things, controls all things, and works all things together for the good of those who love Him, and who are called according to his purpose. (Rom. 8:28)
