What's the next Turn?

Life has taken turns that I did not expect. Like when I was teenager I never expected my parents to divorce, nor did I ever expect to go to college at Marshall to go into the medical field, but my dad did leave and I did spend 4 years at Marshall because that is where Pete was going. I never expected to get married, start an adoption and then loose 5 beautiful children in an instant. I never expected 5 years to go by since they were taken without even a hint of a return. But it happened and they are living in NY while I am in WV. I never expected to be married for 7 years without the using birth control and only getting pregnant once and loosing that child before even hearing a heartbeat. But it happened! And guess what? No matter what is around the turn, whether it is a train wreck, a fender bender, a scratch or a bug on the windsheild the consistant thing for me is that God is always there to mend me and hold me. He doesn't show up after the turn He is actually there with me as the road is winding and the turns are taken . I never expected to be loved so much that the fears of life were cast out of my heart; but it is just like God to do something so amazing.
1 John 4:18
18There is no fear in love. But perfect love drives out fear, because fear has to do with punishment. The one who fears is not made perfect in love.
Life can continue to twist and turn and God will be there for me just like he always is. I will never surrender and God will deliver the vitory.
