IS THERE ANYTHING I AM IN CONTROL OF?

The answer is no. Megan and I were recently reminded that God is the one in control. It doesn't really seem that way sometimes does it? It seems like our choices are our own and the consequence (good or bad) of that is ours as well. It seems like we only have children because of what we do, it seems that we are the ones responsible for the election coming up in November. Don't get me wrong, there is an element of our participation in life but does that mean we're in control? It seems like we have so much control of our lives until something unplanned or surprising happens. Megan and I have been planning for the last six months to move to Idaho for an internship with Missionary Aviation Fellowship. Because of all the gas price hikes, two weeks ago, we got a call to let us know that the position is no longer available as of the beginning of the year. I was reading in James chapter four this morning and it says, "If the Lord wills we will live and do this or that" is how we ought to look at things in life. God is the one whose will is going to be achieved. I don't think we were aproaching this internship without this in mind but God showed us the reality of this verse. That if God wills, we will go to Idaho for the internship or if God wills, we will not move to Idaho for the internship. The point is, God is in control. Not a bird falls from the sky outside of His control, the clouds go where He tells them to go and Megan and I are now going to be in Columbus for the next few months (if God wills).
