You won't be like the snowflakes blowing around wildly not knowing where you are going or where you will land. Ask God to show you the journey he wants you to take through life and he will guide you the whole way. When you follow him, you are never alone. Bad things do happen, but if you are following God, he promises to make good things come from those bad things. The Bible tells us that God causes everything to work together for the good of those who love God and are called according to his purpose for them." Open your Bible and read Romans 8:28. Sometimes you may think that God has forgotten about you or doesn't care about you because he has let bad things happen in your life. I will not fail you or abandon you."

People get sick, our friends leave us, and we can't stop it. Sometimes it seems like everything is out of control or everything is changing and we can't do anything about it. Raise your hands if you ever feel like a snowflake that is being blown all over the place, out of control, with no way to stop what is happening to you? We all feel this way sometimes, don't we?
