All aspects of my relationships have been God ordained, I know that. Sometimes this is really hard to understand. Why would God virtually remove a person from my life who I care(d) about? That isn't for me to know, but I DO know that his will is perfect. As he takes people out of my life, he places others into it. I've made friends with people that I never thought I would.
He works is mysterious ways, nothing could be more true.
Although, when I think about it I think mysterious isn't the right word.
mys·te·ri·ous /mɪˈstɪəriəs/ –adjective
1. of obscure nature, meaning, origin, etc.; puzzling; inexplicable: a mysterious inscription on the ancient tomb.

No. Mysterious isn't how I would describe it. I think I would describe the Lord much differently. Although it can't simply be put into words, God is so much more then that. I think of Revelation 4:2-6
2 And instantly I was in the Spirit,[a] and I saw a throne in heaven and someone sitting on it. 3 The one sitting on the throne was as brilliant as gemstones—like jasper and carnelian. And the glow of an emerald circled his throne like a rainbow. 4 Twenty-four thrones surrounded him, and twenty-four elders sat on them. They were all clothed in white and had gold crowns on their heads. 5 From the throne came flashes of lightning and the rumble of thunder. And in front of the throne were seven torches with burning flames. This is the sevenfold Spirit[b] of God. 6 In front of the throne was a shiny sea of glass, sparkling like crystal.
In the center and around the throne were four living beings, each covered with eyes, front and back.
All this doesn't even come close to what the author (thought to be John) saw. No words could even come close to what God looks like, let alone how he is in all his majesty.
All this being said, I come to the realization of how completely uncontrollable my life is. No matter how much I think I am in complete control of my own life, down to the core I have none. He is in complete control and if I place my complete trust in Him, my life will be unimaginable. I pray that God would do just that, take complete control of every aspect in my life, and use it for what He deems worthy.
