God's Sovereignty

Many of you know the very unexpected diagnosis my mother received last Tuesday and for those of you who do not, she was diagnosed with a tumor on her pituitary gland which sits right under the brain, so basically a brain tumor. Brain tumor is a scary word in itself and it was not the news I expected when I called my mom to check on her that beautiful afternoon. She had been feeling bad for about 6 months, but I had no clue the enormity of what I was about to hear and can only imagine how see felt when the doctor called her in with the CAT scan results and said "is there anyone with you here today?" Mom knew it was serious at that moment!!! She was admitted into the hospital that night and the next week was frustrating and long with few answers to what to expect. The only thing we know for sure is surgery is coming in the next few weeks and God is Sovereign!!! He is in total control of this entire situation and I see His hand all over it. He is working here in so many ways that I can't even begin to express in words all that I see Him doing. He is repairing a broken relationship between my mother and I (many people know the long struggle I've had with this relationship), He is bringing my mom closer to Him, He is showing me things I need to change in myself, He is showing me patience, He is teaching me to fully trust, He is teaching me I can't control a lot of things as hard as I try, He is teaching me to appreciate each and every moment with my babies, He is teaching me not to get bent out of shape about the little stuff like staying on schedule or messes my kids make, He is bringing me closer to my little brother, He is shining His light to many of my mom's non-believing friends through the strength and peace she is showing in this trial, He is, He is, He is!!!! God has been at work orchestrating the good that can come out of this brain mass because He works all things to good and I'm resting in this promise!!!! Of course, this is not the way I would have chosen, but if we can grower closer to Him and gloirfy Him by walking through this valley, His will be done!!!
