In this season of life, my goal is to laugh. I aspire to be the Proverbs 31 woman who laughs at the future (verse 25). I could write pages about various trials and life changes that have hit the Fata household recently, but I’d rather spare you those gory details and put things plainly:
But our God is in the heavens;
He does whatever He pleases. (Psalm 115:3)
The reality that our Lord is operating outside of what I think is best is a tremendous comfort. His sovereignty means my surety. I trust He allows every hardship because He knows what my heart needs to ultimately bring Him the most glory.
The way I see it, I have two choices when each frustration arises: I can sink down into the mire and wallow around in self-pity, or I can remember that my feet are firm upon a Rock and stand up straight, look boldly ahead, and laugh. For my God is in the heavens and He does whatever He pleases.
I know the enemy seeks to keep me from effective ministry. I am aware that He desires to bury me with distractions and disturbances which render me useless for the kingdom. This era of life has brought me to my knees with new purpose. I claim the powerful name of Jesus over every event. I submit my life under His authority with joy and determination to thrive in my ministry for His name’s sake, come what may.
I truly love that He gets to choose. So, see me laughing.
