God is in control

People say it all the time.  "God is in control."  I think they say this because it gives them some comfort in crazy times.  Times are crazy but God is in control.  I don't understand life, but God is in control.   Blah, blah, blah, but God is in control.

So do our choices mean nothing?  Are we puppets? 

I am a big believer in free will.  I think that God loves our free will.  He must, he made us that way.

One person once told me that God is in control, but God is not controlling.  I actually like that.  It allows God to still be the big in charge God, but it makes room for our free will.

Next time someone says that God is in control, ask them, so do our choices mean nothing?  In my opinion, our choices matter a bunch and they are very valuable to us and to God.

It's a beautiful day in God's world be sure to see the good.
