I think all my brain energy has simply evaporated, so I'd just like to share two blessings that I received via email. The first, from a church connection I have gotten to know from being around my home church community this fall:
"I have had a wonderful Christmas. All of my family was near me and healthy. Never underestimate the worth of that."
The second, from an Encouragement of the Day email:
"When we are trapped in excessive planning and things don't work out
the way we want, it can create anxiety, frustration, or anger towards
God—all traps the enemy would love to use to discourage and distract us.
I didn't stop writing lists. They keep me from forgetting what I need to do.
But I have stopped excessive planning.
God's ways are higher than mine. And if I keep that truth above my planning, then I am open to go in whatever direction God leads.
I didn't have to sign up for Overplanner's Anonymous. Instead, the first thing on my plan every day is to simply 'trust God.'"
I'm still working on trusting God. It's an everyday responsibility, but the most worthwhile of all.
