I was able to help with a little radio interview with Loving Shepherd Ministries...click on WPEO, Straight Talk with Janet Hall...it was aired on Saturday. Always, such a blessing to get to share about awesomeness of adoption!

Lots of other stuff going on too, but all we are all counting the days till Zach's 5th birthday on Wednesday (pictures to come ;)

Sharing in Women's Bible Study is a blessing, our current book "Calm my Anxious Heart" by Linda Dillow...has been super! Related to our Bible Study, I found these quotes from Roy Lessin of DaySpring...entitled Fret Busters...I'll post some now & may some later...

Worry does not empty tomorrow of its sorrow. It empties today of its strength. -Corrie Ten Boom

Worry is a cycle of inefficient thoughts whirling around a center of fear.-Corrie Ten Boom

There is one thing that God says to every believer, regardless of his circumstances—“Trust Me.”“Trust in the Lord, and do good; Dwell in the land, and feed on His faithfulness.” Psalm 37:3

Confidence is not based on you having all the resources needed to take care of yourself; confidence is based upon the truth that God is faithful.

We need sanctified imaginations. It is easy for any of us to fret and have our imaginations run wild. In reality, most things don’t happen the way we imagined them. The Bible says, “The just shall live by faith.” It doesn’t say, “The just shall live by their imaginations.” The Word of God builds your faith; your imagination can be a fast track to worry. Worry says, “What will happen to me, things seem out of control.” Faith says, “My life is in God’s hands and He is in control.”

Worrying about a circumstance won’t change the circumstance, but worry will change you.

God is in control. Things won’t always be the way they are right now. God knows how and when to bring about change. Trust His timing, He doesn’t make mistakes.

If you don’t have peace about what you are doing, stop doing it.

When a thought of anxiety comes knocking on the door of your mind you must refuse it entrance. If you invite it in, it will have dinner with you, and if it has dinner with you it will quickly move in and want to spend the night.

If you find that you are anxious about something ask yourself if you have prayed about it, and fully committed it to the Lord. If you have prayed about it, committed it to the Lord, and are still anxious, begin to thank God in your heart and in your prayers for being in control of the situation. Prayer, commitment, and thanksgiving open the door to peace.

The best and only policy we should have toward anxiety in our lives is “zero tolerance”.
