Yesterday, I got a wake-up call from God about my job. It’s something
I’ve been struggling with for some time now. I drove home in a daze,
trying to figure out what to do and my stomach didn’t feel quite right.
It felt queasy and very unsure. It was exactly like Amanda described,
sitting in a class and having it suddenly dawn on you that you’re in
the wrong class.

On the drive home from work, I was in a bit of a daze, feeling like I
just went a few rounds in a boxing match. A few blocks away from home,
a Ford Focus turned in front of my car. Not thinking much of it, and I
almost never notice the make and models of cars, my eyes fell on its
license plate: FCS ON GD. It was then I laughed. My queasiness didn’t
fully go away, but it was then I remembered who’s really in charge of
it all and no matter what happens, it is what we all have to do,
through the good and the bad times.

My favorite hymn has always been:

When peace, like a river, attendeth my way,
When sorrows like sea billows roll;
Whatever my lot, Thou has taught me to say,
It is well, it is well with my soul.

It is well, with my soul,
It is well, with my soul,
It is well, it is well with my soul.

I’m still not sure on how all of this will work out,
but I feel a lot better knowing God’s in control. Sometimes we all need
the reminder.
