Ever since Dan and I were married, we have gone without cable television. Aside from the random things we have wished we had it for, (mostly football season and the news every once in a while) we don't feel like we have missed out on much at all. We are subscribed to hulu and netflix, but hardly ever watch the news. I get some of it online, but I probably get most of it through Dan. He spends a good chunk of time in the car for work and listens to talk radio.
Most nights he comes home with news stories that we talk about while I make dinner. I like being able to get little updates on what is going on through him. If I am honest though, a lot of the news is pretty unnerving. I think if you are a parent you have probably felt that way from time to time. We live in a world where horrible things happen every day. Things that most of us can't even imagine.
Some of what has been going on in the world lately has left me wondering about Logan's future. About where the world will be in ten years. About what we can do to protect our families. And when we look at it like that it just becomes more and more daunting. I had spent a lot of the day today worrying... without even realizing that is what I was doing.
I didn't really notice how much weight it had on my thoughts until I was driving home tonight and saw the sunset that God had painted in the sky. It was so perfect, with the prettiest pinks and golds peaking out from behind the clouds. It was a flawless reminder that God controls everything. He knew that my mommy heart needed a reminder that if he controls every light in the sky, he also controls everything under it. He is a big God, and I am so thankful that I don't have to worry about the future because he already knows it.
