How do you control an existence that is impossible to know the future? Words spoken in conversations can change lives, heal wounds, give forgiveness, give encouragement, love, patience and understanding.
Thoughts of positive things lead to positive actions. Actions sometimes, in fact most times, speak louder than words. Actions of comfort and affection. Love others in a way words don't. In a way the human soul most needs.
Think decisions all the way through, even a small pros and cons mental list is a great thing to do before acting.
Even though you can't control everything in life, you can have a say so in the outcome. You can take steps in building structure to your thoughts, words, and actions. So when life throws those unexpected curve balls at you, just maybe you can keep things "under control."

My friend's son ran away. He is 15 years old. She is so sad and scared for him. Every things is out of her control. She can't go to all of his friend's houses, call parents, look at the mall or anything a parent would be doing. She can't, because she is locked up.
Could you please pray for his safety? His name is Andrew and his mom's name is Shana. He also got in some trouble. Pray for them both please!
Always, Nichole
