Keep your sense of humor and words of praise. Both will help. Still praying for all of you.

Bizarre....<br /><br />@Adam, after my daughter was born, I actually got a healthy amount of writing done, but I hadn't stayed home before then, and was bored most of the time. Now that she's older, it's a little more hectic. But, you know? I find writing a good escape and it helps keep me sane. I just wish I could do more of it more frequently!<br /><br />@TraciB and Sarah, both those scriptures are wonderful. I had Jeremiah 29:11 on my bedroom mirror before we moved, probably should put it and John 16:33 back up... but that would require hanging a mirror!<br /><br />@Suzanne, isn't that the truth! :)<br /><br />Thanks again everyone!Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10072706769675479529noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6635254887060965792.post-30459183426760989022011-03-17T09:10:15.248-05:002011-03-17T09:10:15.248-05:00How I wish these hard times you're having woul...How I wish these hard times you're having would pass more quickly.

Jesus told his disciples this shortly before his arrest: “I have told you these things, so that in me you may have peace. In this world you will have trouble. But take heart! I have overcome the world.” <br /><br />I pray for the storms to be calmed and the reports to be encouraging.TraciBhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01060016951190175207noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6635254887060965792.post-40643117336422384462011-03-15T16:10:58.313-05:002011-03-15T16:10:58.313-05:00Praying for your family, Liberty, especially your ...Praying for your family, Liberty, especially your son.

Other times it only leads to following the rabbit trails of "what if's" dropped by Satan to sidetrack me or cause me to doubt God.<br /><br />Thankfully, God welcomes our swirling thoughts and will calm them when we turn our focus towards Him. It may not solve our problems, but He gives us a sense of peace that He is in control and we can trust Him.Suzannehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01827928236401341110noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6635254887060965792.post-64097753763194640112011-03-14T20:45:20.372-05:002011-03-14T20:45:20.372-05:00I find peace in a simple unspoken prayer.

Praying for peace as you walk through these next few weeks. One day, you'll look back and be amazed at how far you've come, what you were able to endure, and how deep and strong your faith has grown. No matter the outcome, somehow the days with ill children do become "normal" and things we once thought we couldn't continue to do become routine. Lifting you and your sweet family in prayer, fellow writer.<br /><br />CindeeAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
