So tonight was the night - the first week-end my daughter will have with her dad, his new wife, and at least 1 of her children. I didn't want to push her, but she brought up the subject during the drive. It's more than being in an awkward situation. If you get to to the root, she's wrestling with the age-old question, "If God is sovereign and good, why does He allow sin and evil?" She's watched her mom come to grips with God's sovereignty, and now she knows it's her turn.
But I was encouraged as my daughter shared her heart. She realizes the only thing that is going to keep her in the days ahead is being grounded in the reality of who God is in His Word. So I'm praying she will be anchored in the truth and see beyond her circumstances to something bigger and more glorious.

For this light momentary affliction is preparing for us an eternal weight of glory beyond all comparison, as we look not to the things that are seen but to the things that are unseen. For the things that are seen are transient, but the things that are unseen are eternal. 2 Cor. 4: 17-18
Praying for your daughter and you!
