God is steering the boat...

It would be easy to get anxious and begin to grasp at the control strings of the situation this morning. So before i did i had to go meet with the Lord.  God is all around me, i don't have to go searching to find Him, He is here.  He is with me, in me and beside me all the time!  I love it when God reminds me that He is absolutely in control, that He is steering the boat.  I love it when He reminds me that "providence" isn't just a cool word but a cool reality. 

I think it is easy for me to get caught up in the "doing" of life.  I think it is easy to begin to question am i forgetting something, am i doing enough...  I want to share with you a few of the verses that God used to speak clearly to me this morning that settled my heart and put things back in perspective:

"Commit to the Lord whatever you do, and your plans will succeed.  The Lord works out everything for His own ends..."  Proverbs 16:3-4a

The plans will succeed HIS way.  He has an ending planned that will bring Him glory and i can rest in that.  I don't have to see it to believe that whatever it is will be for my families best.    

"In his heart a man plans his course, but the Lord determines his steps."  Proverbs 16:9

Praise Jesus...  What a comfort that is to know and believe.  God has my back.  My job is to surrender to Him daily and He will lead me on.

"The lot is cast into the lap, but its every decision is from the Lord."  Proverbs 16:33

There is no such thing as chance, God is absolutly in control. 

I don't know why it is taking so long to unite our family together.  I don't know why the silence on the phone has been prolonged, BUT... i do know that God has an amazing reason for it.  And that He is continuing to work things out behind the scenes. 
So we are going to anchor down into the boat today and enjoy the ride as we continue on towards the destination He has in mind!  Hope you enjoy the boat ride with us, I am anticipating the amazing things God's got waiting for us all at the end of the ride!  We love you, The Newsom clan
