Totally out of my control...

I guess I have reached one of those places in life when I am reminded that many times there are things totally out of my control. My son is in Nairobi, Kenya. He has been there for a few days already and I have been blessed (through technology) to be able to speak to him. I have heard his voice, I know he is healthy, and yet I worry. I do trust God to provide for him and to lead his steps. I trust that same God for his health and his safe return home. It is the not knowing things that makes me remain concerned. I hear that he is weary, that jet lag is really making him unable to sleep and that his energy is very low. I know that this will affect his trip there. I am hoping that God has Ryan very humbled right now through this time of weakness so that He can use him in a great way. I have had God do this to me before in different situations to get me out of my own way. That is usually when He has shown up the most. For now, my part in this will be prayer. My prayer for my little boy is that God will cover him with a blanket of peace, with or without sleep. Supernatural strength that only God can provide. I remain thankful for his sacrifice and thankful for his journey. Thankful for him- period.
