Circumstances

"We are not fundamentally free; external circumstances are not in our hands, they are in God’s hands, the one thing in which we are free is in our personal relationship to God. We are not responsible for the circumstances we are in, but we are responsible for the way we allow those circumstances to affect us; we can either allow them to get on top of us, or we can allow them to transform us into what God wants us to be." -Chambers

This blessed my heart today...
to remember Who holds today, tomorrow, and forever...
to thank Him for being able to see this in the life of those who have gone through the most difficult of circumstances...
and to let Him soothe a heart aching for friends that are praying for the life of their unborn child.

    P.S. I didn't get a chance to tell you this yesterday, but I loved that you picked #390 for your "birthday song" at church. That's one of my very favorites too! =) "Great minds think alike", right? ;) Oh, and happy birthday!
