Father Knows Best

Spring break. We've counted down the weeks for that 7 days where most head to the sunniest beaches and put school and homework behind. It came and I could feel the relief flow throughout my body. For 9 days I could forget about school and just relax. My boyfriend and I packed up our bags, loaded his car and headed to his home. I was ready for this break. Ready for the fun, the laughs and the relaxing. However fever had a say in the matter. My boyfriend began running a fever Friday and continued to for what would be 6 days. It spiked at almost 105 and then eventually went down...all the way to 96. Panic set in. My weakness is worry. It's one of those things that controls me. And when I saw my boyfriend laying on the couch sick and not himself, worry sat in. I sat and cried as the devil began to tell me horrific things and getting me to the point of a full fledged panic attack. However, Timothy's mother came to me and hugged me crying and said, "God loves him more than you or I do. That's my kid and I feel like I can take care of him the best, but God has reminded me he is the one who can." My worry vanished. God did love Timothy more than anything. How could I say that I knew what was best when I wasn't the one who formed him? It wasn't the sunshine and beaches spring break I thought it would be, but I learned something that has put me on a new trek. God loves me so much. He loves everyone I love so much more than I do. Gods love overpowers everything. He takes care of us even in the worst of situations. He knows best. Like the old tv show, "Father Knows Best", out Father really does know what's best.
