My mind and heart get so twirled up in them whenI don't bring them to Jesus. It's when I do this, that I can rest and walk in the sunlight.

I get concerned about the gum surgery for my daughter ... fearful it won't work. But ...

We don't want people to think we worry too much, don't want to be one to always talk about our problems, don't want people to want to run when they see us coming ... but it's amazing how just sharing with one or two, those who will pray for you ... it calms us after it rattles us ... but then doors start opening ... you begin to see God moving. You always bless me, Gene.Shelli Littletonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00136640834514348086noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-631802000219417479.post-84581211755252635202016-02-24T05:32:38.319-08:002016-02-24T05:32:38.319-08:00Great post Shelli.

Exposing the area to constant sunlight was the best cure. Keeping life's anxieties exposed to God's light works much the same for me. genehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16341369225724802103noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-631802000219417479.post-83129092095172127942016-02-23T10:50:15.791-08:002016-02-23T10:50:15.791-08:00Oh, Wendy ... a painful parent path.

And it's all about discovering your own relationship with Christ ... needing Him, coming to the point of really needing Him ... and answering the question: Is this walk with Christ my parents' or my own? And making it your own. I remember too well. I'm praying for you. Keep us in your prayers, too, please ... xoxoxoShelli Littletonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00136640834514348086noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-631802000219417479.post-64608163321483792742016-02-23T09:28:35.615-08:002016-02-23T09:28:35.615-08:00Thank you, Shelli, for this honest and comforting ...Thank you, Shelli, for this honest and comforting post. Like you, I run to Him when "anxiety and fear--damp and shady" hound me. Not knowing how difficult this past weekend and this week would be I now see God's hand in having me write out Philippians 4:6-7 on my chalkboard earlier this month. I'm leaning into those words--His Word--as my husband and I go down a painful parent path. I see Providence at work, but it still hurts. <br />Blessings & hugs as you (and all of us) continue to cling to Christ ~ WendyWendy L. Macdonaldhttp://www.wendylmacdonald.comnoreply@blogger.com
