I wanted to share something I read from a friends blog post. It was amazing the timing of when I read it and all that was happening with Danae. It basically has become an almost daily reading for me!
I have been stressing about finances, whether Danae's eye will need to be worked on again, and also just the stuff of daily life. What a wonderful reminder this is. Thanks Megan!
I hope it blesses some of you as well.
“Some of you are perplexed with a multitude of anxieties about your life.
You do not know what to do.
One plan was suggested, and for a time it seemed the best action.
But now you have doubts. You are bewildered and you cannot see Providence’s clue.
You are lost in a maze...
You have tried various ways and methods to escape your present difficulty.
But you have been disappointed and are distracted.
Your thoughts have no order; they drag you in opposite directions.
The currents meet and twist as if you were in a whirlpool.
My perplexed friend, remember the children of Israel at the Red Sea.
The sea was before them, rocks were on either side,
and the cruel Egyptians roared in the rear. Imitate Israel’s actions.
‘Do not be afraid. Stand still, and see the salvation of the Lord,
which He will accomplish for you today’ (Ex. 14.13)
You reply, ‘I cannot be quiet. I am agitated, perturbed, perplexed, tossed, and distracted.
What shall I do?’
‘In the multitude of my anxieties within me, Your comforts delight my soul’ (Ps. 94.19)
Turn your eyes to the deep things of God.
Cease from an anxious consideration of seen things, which are temporary,
and gaze by faith on things that are eternal.
Remember your way is ordered by a higher power than your will and choice.
The eternal God has fixed your every step.
All things are fixed by the Father’s hand.
He who loved us from before the foundations of the world
has immutably determined every step of our pilgrimage.
It is a blessed thing,
after you have been muddling and meddling with your anxieties,
to throw your burdens on the Lord and leave them there.”

Hey Girl,
Love the blog name! In fact this is what I reffered to myself to my children while trying to load everyone safely in the car in a busy parking lot:)
So just thought I would share how the recent post hits close to home. Lets just say our insurance hasnt been as "good" as we thought...every trip to the mailbox offers another opprotunity to trust in the Lord and His provisions. Taylor today just went to get her brace... another opprotunity to seek hard after God and have faith while ding so, anyways they called me on Friday at 4:00 in the afternoon to remind me of the appointment and let me know to bring 250.00 with me to pay for it! Yikes, not much notice huh! Not sure why I thought my insurance would pay for all of it~
Well, know that I will be praying for you and PJ, tonight may you get rest and awake with the fresh awareness that God is bigger then anything awaiting in your mailbox.
Your friend Mrs. Dugger;)
Wow Medana. What an amazing thought. God is bigger than anything in our mailbox! Thank you for this wonderful reminder.
I feel a Metro Mom's blog post coming on...
Thanks Medana!
I like the song you have playing. I've never heard it before. Made me a bit emotional :)
Our God is Faithful! I feel like these words have been coming out of my mouth all week. Anyways, I wish I could hear the song but with dial-up it cuts in and out... I tried...I can't sit here and wait :)
Love- Julie
