First let me say congratulations to Jenna and any others who watched Eli Stone last night...I did not. I forgot, I don't typically watch it on Thursday night because while I am usually up...Justin is usually snoozing away by then. So we save it until Friday night or another night where we can watch it together. All together now... "AWWWW". The DVR that brings couples together :) Let me not lose my train of thought here...So a lot of stuff has been going on here...A lot of change...Change is good, but change tends to bring anxiety along with it sometimes. I got out of bed this morning, after a long bout of insomnia last night. Ugh, I thought I was past this, but that's a whole other story. The first thing I remembered as I made my way downstairs was the song that was playing over and over again in my head for hours last night. Now granted, it wasn't George Michael...Haha, I laugh because it was even better. It was Amy Grant! I didn't even think of the whole Eli Stone connection until I sat down to blog...and I'm reaching, but hey. I have not heard this song for probably 10 years...have not thought about Amy Grant in at least that long...So this seemed rather odd to me. As I tossed and turned in bed, though, the words to one of her songs played through my head. I could almost hear it, as if it were playing through speakers..."Thy Word is a Lamp unto my feet and a Light unto my path...Nothing will I fear, as long as You are near"...Ok, so those words might not even be what the song actually says, but that's what I heard. Again, it's been YEARS since I heard the song. So what does this have to do with anything you ask? Well, I was awake, thinking about the day ahead (today)...I try to tell myself that today has enough troubles of its own and all that, but sometimes it doesn't help. What I learned from my Eli vision...To turn to the Bible and trust that God will take care of us every step of the way...Maybe I didn't have a "vision"...maybe it wasn't an "omen". Justin told me last night that there is no such thing as karma, just God...What's next, no Easter bunny? :) This seems to be all over the place, I just wanted to share my revelation with those who will read. Always remember Who is in control. That kind of takes the worry away...now I just have to worry about how to get rid of that awful 80s hair in my vision...

That last comment really made me laugh. LOL A merry heart does good like medicine, huh? :)
I remember that song. It was from the Age to Age album, and I think it's well over ten years old. LOL I'm sure Amy would appreciate me pointing that out. I don't remember that last line being part of the lyrics (doesn't mean they aren't, could just mean I'm old and forgetful), but must admit I like them just the same.
I've tried to make "plans" for the future, and one by one they always seem to unravel. I think I had to conclude that God is in control just to survive. Who knows what will happen next? Sometimes it scares me, but I have to depend on God. I"m not sure I would otherwise. So many times I stress and His timing is just so perfect I feel rather silly afterwards. LOL
O.K. So now this reminded me of a Twyla Paris song appropriately titled, "God Is In Control." :)
Hope you were able to get some good rest.
