Hello I am new to this site and felt drawn to speak to people who can reassure me that God is always in control

My dear God is always in control even when it seems he isn't, many time things don't make sense to us and they see really bad and we doubt God but God chuckles and points his finger and says look child I know the end of this and it is beautiful.

He is always in control! I am living in Europe.
Recently I was so close to falling in love with a man - ex Catholic living far far away -in Colombia. One day he reminded me one of the book of the Catholic bible and I realised that the story of the book is happening again in my life. Few days after I went to the different continent travelling with friends and was hoping to been baptised in water. I arrived in the country of his /the man I was talking about/ national flag /different than his location/ hoping only to jump in the river - I have not planned neither the pastor nor the time. There where only Catholics group there ... When I was about to be back without been baptised...suddenly an evangelists pastor and few people from Colombia arrived. Next minutes I have been praying in Spanish - a language I even do not know /fortunately knew few words to recognise a pray/ and I was baptised in Jeshua`s name in the water together with them.
I probably never will meet these people again but they were been travelling across the ocean to be on that place - on the same place and time with the same purpose.
Now I am newborn in water also...
Now can see things clearly then before and can see the danger upon me. Fortunately God is with me and He has shown me His love and His Grace and His mercy! No one can be bigger than ONE True God and there is the Holy Name of Jeshua in Whom I found the perfect! My eyes have been opened and I know that only His love is the important one!
Let God bless you!

"He is always in control!"
Yes!
And He always will be.
May I say that I noticed these words just at logging out, BS?
As a public "introvertion" I coould public my feelings at another thread, because this is a confession.
If it brings glory or honor to God, I don´t mine telling why I did what I´ve done, but it wasn´t to hurt you (but to know you).
Besides, I´m too aware this site (as all the internet) is being used to harvest "sensitive" information. And I don´t mind being blown out, since heaven is better than "life" (as a Christian song goes: "His love is better than life"...)
Yes!

Are you aware you probably was baptized in His Spirit? (His real seal of acceptance, by the way)

Yes I am.
First -because I understood what he was talking, second because after it -before I soak I said it in my mother tongue and third because my friend who took the pictures knows few languages including Spanish
I miss my friend also, but now I am not sure who is he, because the true friends never bite. Do not worry- if there was something which harmed me I already had forgiven. We must love Him and our brothers and sisters even it is not easy to be done.

@SH but I do not know English enough ... and may be have not understood you question most probably
My daughter,s son is shedding tears! He wants to play with me, but he has to go out to be helped on his school lessons.

Im glad you were totally baptized, and sealed.
Your point 1, was totally understood (concerning your baptism or your being baptized in the HS)
Your point 2 ("...I miss my friend also. But now I am not sure who he is, because true friends never bite. ") is clear, in that sense.
If I bit you, I bit MYSELF also, similarly, I miss that fellowship I was getting used. Yes! I felt lonely.
I have no regrets in missing those ones I like (and I like you)
Let´s talk about Ruth?
Was she humiliated for showing off her intentions to being married?
1) Boaz asked whom she belonged (Rth_2:5)
2) When his heart was merry (Rth_3:7) That woman slept untouched, and counsealed? (Rth 3:11, 14)
3) He commanded his workers NOT to humiliate her (Rth_2:15)
4) He was an old gentleman!
God, similarly, has being protrayed as in a wanting of things He needed from men, such as one needing worship and other things, making "Him" a sort of weak being: We are the ones needing Him to be worshipped, obeyed and believed (to be spiritually healed, totally)
God is aware His love has been despised and denied, He knows we are incoherent when we´ve said "we loved Him" (Eze_16:30)
He´s been pursuing human kind for centuries, and He´s willing to do so (Eze_34:11, 16) knowing we have been unloyal on cheating on Him (Hos_2:7, 3:5)
Does God want men to offer Him anything He lacked or wanted? (Isa_1:11-14)
He just sought human´s obedience. (Eze_33:11; Isa 1:16-17)
But do we insist He lacked anything we could give the GIVER?
Psa 50:7 My people, I am God! Israel, I am your God. Listen to my charges against you.
Psa 50:8 Although you offer sacrifices and always bring gifts,
Psa 50:9 I won't accept your offerings of bulls and goats.
Psa 50:10 Every animal in the forest belongs to me, and so do the cattle on a thousand hills.
Psa 50:11 I know all the birds in the mountains, and every wild creature is in my care.
Psa 50:12 If I were hungry, I wouldn't tell you, because I own the world and everything in it.
Psa 50:13 I don't eat the meat of bulls or drink the blood of goats.
Psa 50:14 I am God Most High! The only sacrifice I want is for you to be thankful and to keep your word.
Psa 50:15 Pray to me in time of trouble. I will rescue you, and you will honor me.
Is He weak as I am? (Psa_4:2)
Could be "fooled" like I am? (Mat_15:8)
He made a decision with an oath (Exo_34:27; Lev_26:45), not for being weak, just for our faults and weakness.
Isa 48:9 I, the LORD, am true to myself; I will be praised for not punishing and destroying you.
Isa 48:10 I tested you in hard times just as silver is refined in a heated furnace.
Isa 48:11 I did this because of who I am. I refuse to be dishonored or share my praise with any other god.
(Eze 20:44)
God is my righteousness and I won`t defence my actions. But I apologise if was acted like if dishonour someone ... and will read again the story of Tobit and will see carefully who actually the woman wanted to save from the evil in her life. And who has loved her also ...
Yes, lets talk about Ruth - that woman slept untouched, and counselled. She also have known that Boaz is relative (Ruth 2:20) and everything there were clear without anything hidden of replaced - his field was on the same place the next morning. God is always light and there is not anything of His in the darkness.
Yes - "We are the ones needing Him" and I obey Him completely! 3 Kings 20:7. Then the king of Israel called all the elders of the land, and said, Mark, I pray you, and see how this man seeketh mischief: for he sent unto me for my wives, and for my children, and for my silver, and for my gold; and I denied him not.
I love to read Isaiah`s book always.
Isa 48:12 Hearken unto me, O Jacob and Israel, my called; I am he; I am the first, I also am the last.
Isa 48:13 Mine hand also hath laid the foundation of the earth, and my right hand hath spanned the heavens: when I call unto them, they stand up together.
Isa 48:14 All ye, assemble yourselves, and hear; which among them hath declared these things? The LORD hath loved him: he will do his pleasure on Babylon, and his arm shall be on the Chaldeans.
Isa 48:15 I, even I, have spoken; yea, I have called him: I have brought him, and he shall make his way prosperous.
Isa 48:16 Come ye near unto me, hear ye this; I have not spoken in secret from the beginning; from the time that it was, there am I: and now the Lord GOD, and his Spirit, hath sent me.
Isa 48:17 Thus saith the LORD, thy Redeemer, the Holy One of Israel; I am the LORD thy God which teacheth thee to profit, which leadeth thee by the way that thou shouldest go.
So I declare that I am property of the LORD! I am not a monk but I am His slave. I am grateful He has said:
Isa 14:1 For the LORD will have mercy on Jacob, and will yet choose Israel, and set them in their own land: and the strangers shall be joined with them, and they shall cleave to the house of Jacob.
Isa 14:2 And the people shall take them, and bring them to their place: and the house of Israel shall possess them in the land of the LORD for servants and handmaids: and they shall take them captives, whose captives they were; and they shall rule over their oppressors.
As His property we must do our best to obey Him in our life because of His Holy Name!
What is the measure of the actions? I keep my heart clear for my God! How I could recognise who is allowed to be there? Matthew has said 15:11 Not that which goeth into the mouth defileth a man; but that which cometh out of the mouth, this defileth a man.
The LORD whom I completely obey may lead me! let`s be His will!
Although I am alone, I don´t feel lonely like a monk...
I´m glad you´re not a Benedictine monk, neither a Carmelite nun (like I though you´d be) but a newborn child of God.

I needed to read a simple version:
Isa 48:12 Listen to Me, Jacob, Israel whom I called: I am He; I am the first; I am also the last.
Isa 48:13 Surely My hand founded the earth, My right hand spread out the heavens. When I call to them, they stand together.
Isa 48:14 Assemble, all of you, and listen! Who among them foretold these things? Adonai loves him. He will do His will against Babylon—His arm against the Chaldeans.
Isa 48:15 I, I have spoken, yes I called him. I will bring him, so his ways will succeed.
Isa 48:16 Draw near to Me, hear this: Since the beginning, I have not spoken in secret. From the time it existed, I was there. So now Adonai Elohim has sent Me, and His Ruach.”
Isa 48:17 Thus says Adonai, your Redeemer, the Holy One of Israel: “I am Adonai your God, who teaches you to profit, who leads you in the way you should go.
Isa 48:12 Listen to Me, Jacob, Israel whom I called: I am He; I am the first; I am also the last.
Isa 48:13 Surely My hand founded the earth, My right hand spread out the heavens. When I call to them, they stand together.

I can feel lonely too,
sometimes too much
things are happening in my head...
This' so awkward!
