It's all starting to look the same

Days are blending together, pictures look very similar, we are repeating through the clothes we packed, and meal options are even repeating. Routine is a good thing, even if the routine is not the desired one.

The questions today are: will the plan change again? And will Timmy's situation change?

While it would be nice to keep the status quo for a few days and catch our collective breath, we will trust God with what the day brings. They may have scratched off plan A and plan B (maybe more), but there's a whole alphabet still, and God has an infinite number of answers to every problem. He knows the end from the beginning and gives us daily grace in it all. God can do the heart repair that has the doctors wondering. He can work a miracle, and we are praying that He does. But my faith doesn't rest in getting what I want - that would put me in the place of God. I like to be in control, but I am good knowing the One who is in control has it all handled.

 "I will praise thee; for I am fearfully and wonderfully made: marvellous are thy works; and that my soul knoweth right well.
My substance was not hid from thee, when I was made in secret, and curiously wrought in the lowest parts of the earth.
Thine eyes did see my substance, yet being unperfect; and in thy book all my members were written, which in continuance were fashioned, when as yet there was none of them.
How precious also are thy thoughts unto me, O God! how great is the sum of them!"
Psalm 139:14-17
