Hello Tam and Everyone
God bless you this day.
This morning when I first came into my kitchen, my husband had the TV on and it was tuned into James Robison, and it's Wednesday, soooooooo that meant Beth Moore. Wooooohoooooo!!!
Even though the show was nearly over, I did catch a few minutes of it and she was talking about "courage".
You know, for most of my adult life, I substituted anger for courage.
I guess that is because things scared me and in order to rise up and overcome my fear I resorted to anger to do it. But courage is not anger. Courage is standing brave in the confidence and trust that God's got this. It's an unwavering confidence in Him, no matter what is coming at me.
Mind you, I still dive under tables, if a bat gets in the house in the summertime. But, I do so because I rely on my hubby to get the bat out. If he were not here, there is no way I'd be able to go to sleep knowing a bat was in the house, so I would have to be brave -- I'd have to be courageous.
Tam, I'm sorry you are experiencing health problems. I know how daunting the task to not worry, not to allow the thoughts to overtake us. I hope, though, that you'll stand tall, and fight the good fight, and be of good courage. Trust God to do a good work.
You are in my prayers. God's blessed will be done.
God bless and keep you.
Love,
Mack
