And… my husband is having major surgery this coming Monday, January 17. Most of my grandchildren were exposed, and we are waiting to see if they get sick. It addresses all the things girls and women go through in life as they travel it with Jesus, and it is available on. My book, "Stages - a memoir," is about the seven stages of life from the perspective of a woman.
I believe the compilation of our time spent with God will have huge affect on the way we live. I use them now in creating stories, plays, poetry and my blog. I never kept diaries, but tucked my thoughts in my head for future reference. I know I'm undeserving of all He's done for me, but I also know that His love is beyond my comprehension. I love the Lord, Jesus with all my heart and soul. If I don't write it all down, it may vanish and no one will have the advantage of my thoughts. Amen!Īs I reach the end of my years, I find I have a lot of good information stored up in this old decrepit mind of mine. Remind me that you are in control of all things and let me rest in that knowledge. Thank you, Lord, for giving rest to my weary mind and body, but mostly for relieving the doubts, worries and fears of my soul. I will undoubtedly continue to worry until I die, but my worries don’t have to depress me or dominate my thinking. He actually allows us to lay our burdens on His large shoulders and He will carry them for us. He’s telling us that He gives comfort for our souls as well. In Matthew 11:28, Jesus invites us to, “Come to me, all who labor and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest.” He isn’t just talking about physical rest. He knows all our frailties and shortcomings. Your credibility will definitely come into question. When you don’t have personal knowledge of something, it’s difficult to advise someone else. Besides, we may not have experienced what the worrier is going through. In fact, it might even lead to more worry just thinking about it. It’s easy to tell someone not to worry, but that isn’t going to stop them from doing it. I believe it’s actually a part of a woman’s DNA to fret about things over which she has no control. We gentiles are just as likely to be concerned for our kids. By the way, Jewish mothers do not have a corner on worry. Jesus was, however, and so was His mom, so this may be why He spent a lot of time talking to His people about the dreadful trait of worrying. It might be said that I’m the typical Jewish mother – even though I’m not Jewish. I often wonder why it’s so much a part of who I am. There are days in my life when worry overtakes me.
