Today on my way home from weighing in I got a phone call. I looked down and it was my beloved! What a shock! I was so excited to see his name light up on the phone. That quickly turned to sadness as I heard a broken man on the other side of the phone. I thought it was a little weird that he was calling but I listened. I listened as he told me that he was medically discharged today for his anxiety. I was a little confused because he told me just yesterday that they okayed him, even though they knew he had anxiety. He was so lost and so confused. My heart broke for him as I listened to his voice on the phone. All I thought was, what are you doing Lord? What is going on here? We thought this was your plan for us? Those questions quickly turned as I listened to Tim. All I know is that I was calm and understanding. I was at peace because I knew that God was in control. As I sat in the Subway parking lot for an hour I just grew more confident in God's sovereignty. I do not know what he is doing but I know this is not an easy one. I know this is going to be a hard road of recovery. My poor man. My heart breaks because his does, but I am not upset with the outcome. It seemed like what we wanted to do but it seems it is not in the cards for us. What are we going to do, I am not sure. I do know, however, that God is in control and he is working. The verses I studied this morning are totally worth taking another look at right now, little did I know this morning that the verses will be used for a different trial.
In Him and through faith in Him we may approach God with freedom and confidence 13 I ask you, therefore, not to be discouraged because of my sufferings for you, which are for your glory." Ephesians 3:12-13
