Today when I dropped the kids off I starting really feeling it. I would really appreciate if everyone could pray for this anxiousness to go away.
I am sure most of you know that I am a complete and total control freak! It is something that I have worked on for a long long time. I have improved, but what can I say it is just part of me. Now over the next days, weeks and months most everything is going to be out of my control. I am going to have to sit in a car and not be the one driving! Oh my! I can not even think of the rest of the things I am not going to be able to control.
I DO put God in control of everything in my life and I know that He is going to take care of my family in ways that are better than anything I could do on my own. Sometimes having control of little things, like driving, gives me the false feeling that I am in control, if even just for a short time.
Right now I am being reminded of some scripture verses that WILL get me through this and I pray that they help you in difficult times too:
Matthew 6:34 "So do not worry about tomorrow; for tomorrow will care for itself. Each day has enough trouble of its own.
Jeremiah 29:11 "For I know the plans I have for you," says the L
James 1:2-3 Dear brothers and sisters, when troubles come your way, consider it an opportunity for great joy. For you know that when your faith is tested, your endurance has a chance to grow.
Philippians 4:13 I can do all things through Him who strengthens me.
I will try to keep this blog updated over the next few days, with the help of Josh. Thank you again for all the prayers and support that you are all giving us. We are a very blessed family!
God Bless
You can count on me to be praying. I am asking God to not only give you healing but also to keep you in peace in an extremely unsettling situation. We may be far apart but we are still "attached at the hip" ;))))) Love you, Tia

ReplyDelete1 But now, this is what the LORD says—
He who created you, Jacob,
He who formed you, Israel:
Do not fear, for I have redeemed you;
I have summoned you by name; you are mine.
2 When you pass through the waters,
I will be with you;
and when you pass through the rivers,
they will not sweep over you.
When you walk through the fire,
you will not be burned;
the flames will not set you ablaze.
3 For I am the LORD your God,
the Holy One of Israel, your Savior.
My thoughts/prayers will be with you and the extended family at home in Florida over the next several days.
God has put His plan into action and I am confident that He holds you close to His heart...may you find comfort and peace as you surrender control over to the One who put time into motion...He is more than able to meet our every need!
Will be watching for updates on Cassy and/or Bev's facebook pages.
