Romans 8:28

“And we know that in all things God works for the good of those who love Him, who have been called according to His purpose.”  Romans 8:28
Everywhere I go, everywhere I look, everywhere I read... this scripture is placed in front of me.  I seldom am looking for it, but the Lord puts it in my path again and again and again.  I’d say He is teaching me something.  I’d say He is probably preparing me for something that is yet to come.  I want to be a good student in His “classroom” and I want to be prepared for whatever is to come into my life.  I’m so very thankful that He is reminding me once again that He truly works everything, EVERYTHING, together for good because I love Him and am called according to His purpose.  
I’d be less than candid if I did not say that I’m seriously wondering what it could be that He is preparing me so heavily for.  My thoughts go in so many directions and I could easily become overwhelmed.  My desire is to simply keep walking hand in hand by His side, keep staring into His face and follow wherever He takes me.  I choose to trust Him and rely on Him and His faithfulness.  Whatever may come I know that He will work it all together for good.  I also know that He will carry me under the shadow of His wing during it all.
