Madness

March. Madness.

Not only is it a beautiful season of basketball; at my school it is also a day of celebrating great behavior.   A day filled with fun, games, and bag lunches. And madness it was.

From 7:45 AM to 4:20 PM. Madness. I was welcomed with a "lovely" email (please sense my sarcasm) from an unsatisfied parent who I have been nothing but kind to, watched and helped organize chaotic games throughout the morning (some of which were hilarious to watch), and was then met with unexpected news from my family. Madness. Pure Madness.

Yet, I am human and days like this happen. Our days are like shifting sands, yet our God is sovereign and steadfast in His character. He hears the multitude of prayers I pray daily and feels the tears I shed today in the corner of my classroom as my Mom told me my Dad was in the hospital. And who am I that He would be mindful of me? Wow. That'll rock your world - rocks mine just thinking about it.

He cares for the details. I know He will show up in love towards this unsatisfied parent, he shows His uniqueness in my little friend's faces, and He will provide my family with the healing, comfort, and peace that He offers. He will. My God will because He cares, always has and always will, for the details. He cared about the details of Moses' life as he led the Israelites and He cared for Abraham and his wife as they anxiously awaited a child. He cares about the details and in this I trust.

Thank goodness He is steadfast during days of madness.

Father God. Thank you for days of madness. Thank you for teaching me pure trust and a need to hand over the worry to You. Thank you for remaining steadfast and sovereign through it all. Thank you for loving me the same and calling me beloved. You are good, always are and always will be.

Amen.
