Sovereign Over Our Lives and Good

My Mom called me on Saturday with the inevitable news that Grandma had died. The process of finding a flight back to Colorado for the funeral was difficult and frustrating. I finally found a flight and went to bed completely exhausted. The next day I talked to my roommate in Boulder to see if he could pick me up from the airport. I found out that he was actually in Connecticut and was flying home to Denver that night as well. After talking a bit more we discovered that we were both flying from New York to Denver on the same flight! We met up at the airport (the above picture) and we drove back home from the Denver airport together.

This was one of those amazing things that happens where God gets your attention. For me, this was God telling me that He is sovereign and His timing is perfect. I had been struggling with all the pain my Grandma had been in due to her cancer. I didn’t understand, and frankly still don’t understand, why she lived with so much pain for as long as she did. I’m comforted and confident though that God has all our days numbered and that He is good. Grandma knew Jesus and now knows Him a whole lot better!
