There is no title for a day like today... it's raining, papers are flying, prayers and praise being sent heavenwards, the cold is coming, and fear is trying to take hold.
Yesterday I just had joy and peace. Today I still do, but fear is trying to take hold over me. Trying not to let my mind wonder to the what if's and keep my mind on God is some times a trial. I just want to fight and come up with some real ziggers for certain people. Then that in turn leads my mind to wonder how some people can be SO insensitive even cruel and uncaring. Note this is not meant for ANYONE who reads this... You all are and have been wonderful.
I just want to thank EVERYONE for the prayers (and continued prayers) and words of comfort. You'll never know how just someone asking if your OK and listening, well what it does the mind and body good. OK I'm in tears now... :) good ones (I hope).
I think of you every day and you are in our prayers of course. What your family is going through must be so frightening and I am really sorry that it is happening.
ReplyDeleteDo not store up for yourselves treasures on earth, where moth and rust destroy, and where thieves break in and steal. But store up for yourselves treasures in heaven, where neither moth nor rust destroys, and where thieves do not break in or steal; for where your treasure is, there your heart will be also.(Matt 6:19-21)
ReplyDeleteI pray that you and yours can keep your hearts set on heaven.
Those fears and things of the mind--I've had lots of battles with those. Fight the good fight. Bury your heart and mind in God's Word or even a single promise. Eph 6:16 the shield of faith w/which you will be able to extinguis ALL the flaming missles of the evil one. (NASB). Not one, not two or three, but all. That's hard to grasp sometimes - even when I've seen it work. Sometimes, it's even 'just say no', in faith, to those fears and things. "No. I'm trusting the LORD." I just had something work out by doing something like that. Amazing peace. Priceless peace. And then, it's take a breath and on to the next thing. (The LORD bless you and help you to stand in this warfare of the spirit and manage what you're going through.) Love y'all. Jenn (Thanks too for the post)
