After a long hiatus...I'M BACK!!
I just wanted to share with you a little of what has been on my heart as of late.
As T and I are going thru infertility testing/treatment I have found that my anxiety level has been extremely high. All the "what ifs" have been taking over my thought life, and I have found it hard to trust in the Lord and His perfect plan for me.
Gods timing is perfect. A few Sundays ago the Pastor talked on "The Antidote to Anxiety". I felt the Lord speaking to me very clearly...here is what He said:
Worry or anxiety is an attempt to control the uncontrollable: and as some of you know I like to be in control! This really hit home in my heart. I felt like I truly needed to just lay all my burdens down, and leave them. Leave them at the foot of the cross, let Jesus be my professional worrier:)
God is my Source:
When I feel like I don't know: He is my source of Wisdom (Ps. 36:9)
When I have no energy: He is my source of Strength (Isa. 48:5)
When I am depressed: He is my source of Happiness (Ps. 43:4)
When I feel hopeless: He is my source of Hope (Rom. 15:13)
When I feel stressed: He is my source of Peace (Rom. 15:33)
When I feel irritated: He is my source of Patience (Hosea 15:5)
When I feel overwhelmed: He is my source of Salvation (Heb. 5:9)
When I want to give up: He is my source of Encouragement (Rom. 15:5)
I just LOVE the fact that whenever I "feel" a certain way, I can look back on this list and be encouraged that He is my source. My Strength, Happiness, Hope, Peace, Patience,Salvation and encouragement ALL comes from HIM!!!!!
God is my professional worrier...is He yours??
Jeremiah 29:11 The Message I'll show up and take care of you as I promised and bring you back home. I know what I'm doing. I have it all planned out—plans to take care of you, not abandon you, plans to give you the future you hope for.
Philippians 4:8-9
whatever is true, whatever is noble, whatever is right, whatever is pure, whatever is lovely, whatever is admirable—if anything is excellent or praiseworthy—think about such things. 9Whatever you have learned or received or heard from me, or seen in me—put it into practice. And the God of peace will be with you.
