Its all good! I (Carol) hear that often around here, since it is one of Keiths all-purpose phrases. It can mean, wow, that was frustrating, but it turned out OK after all. It can also mean, hey, no big deal, we can work around that. Sometimes he says it to me as a reality check, as in stop obsessing over _____; its not worth it! The cliche went in one ear and out the other a hundred times before it registered in my brain. Its all good! Maybe there is truth at the core of those three words. Now, before everybody points out all the awful things happening in the world and asks how shootings and ebola and disasters can be all good, lets think about this. Im not calling evil good. Im not pasting a smiley face on sin. Im not trying to minimize pain and heartache. I know that God has the ability to supernaturally redeem. To turn curse to blessing. Bad to good. Death to life. Negative to positive. The thread of Gods goodness runs through the good days and awful days alike. Days bunch together and turn into seasons....sometimes I dont even have to search for the good because its as plain as the summer sun. In other seasons, I scan the dark clouds for rainbows and turn over every rock in search of hidden treasure. I was a glass-half-empty kind of gal for most of my life.....until God started to overwhelm my pessimistic thinking with a fresh perception of His goodness. Is Gods goodness always there for the finding and the having? I know God is good, see, and I know He is always there, always mixed into the equation of lifes happenings. So does that mean that Anything + God = good? Its all good. Sounds like a tired cliche, and yet...and yet... Do I believe it? Do you?
