So glad you stopped by, we can use some other guys to put in their 2 cents!<br />Melifaif,(she has the cutest little girlie, girl, go by her blog) boy, anxiety is a tough one for me. I have to try to guard against it. It can cause me so much stress, and we all know where that can get you (me)!<br />Hi Stepanie, LOVE how you signed off, "Choosing Joy" and how true that is...we need to choose joy everyday. <br />Tracy, don't listen to your OWN mind. Let the mind of Christ speak to you. He's an encourager and comforter, and in no way condemning. He loves you just the way you are.(which I think is loving and precious above words)<br />Lisa, your angel story is so true. There are battles in our life, but for me, truly the biggest battle is in my mind. Staying in a place of "trust" with what God is doing in my life. I get in the way sometimes and I don't always do everything I'd like. It is daily not letting "life" beat you down, but giving it to God.<br />Rose, yeah I'm with you, sometimes I'm my own worst enemy. Sometimes I try to explain it to God and tell Him how He's supposed to do it for me. Glad to know I'm not alone in this. LOL!!<br />Debbie, sometimes I really question God about a "specific" thing He tells me. I have a tendency to be bossy sometimes. I'm so glad you mentioned that that scripture was meaningful to you. Thanks girl!<br />Lee, I know I'm so susceptible to the "jabs". I can get down pretty quick, Thank the good Lord He doesn't let me stay there. Thanks for the affirmation. I want to always be sensitive to everyone!<br />Libbie, LOVE that comment about the "author". That's for sure, it's just amazing how each time we read something we get something new and relevant!<br />We love you Laura, and I'm so glad that "thumbs up" was RIGHT!! You are a huge blessing to me and everyone else!<br />And GG, prayer, yes that's the key to answers. Not forgeting to actually PRAY, instead of just worrying about it. Once God reminded me that my "worry" was not "prayer" and that it would be beneficial for me to learn the difference!<br />Love you all!<br />DebraDebra@CommonGroundhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04830455848744270459noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4787192881528040602.post-84598976679129711912009-12-18T12:06:56.250-06:002009-12-18T12:06:56.250-06:00Oh how we need Him....His remedy for our worry ......Oh how we need Him....His remedy for our worry ....with prayer and supplication, let your requests be known unto him.......His peace that passes all understanding shall guard our hearts ( feelings) and minds<br />(thoughts) in Christ Jesus. <br />He loves us so.<br /><br />Melanie~~ My thoughts and prayers with you and your family.

Had a run it last night that was gut wrenching. Today I feel weary from it all...He will refresh me, He always does. I think I am limping a little today too.<br /><br />Even so ...how selfish...some have been knocked off their feet completely.

Thank you. If you have a chance go to little Witt's blog on my sidebar. In the post this morning Cheryl included a song that sums up so many of what you are teaching about faith. <br />Debbietrash talkhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17508579521854913297noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4787192881528040602.post-20767571548990616512009-12-16T18:39:49.993-06:002009-12-16T18:39:49.993-06:00My goodness I need all of them.It is so easy for m...My goodness I need all of them.It is so easy for me to get into that "but God doesn't understand the situation" mode and try to do it all myself.

You need to stop reading my mail.:) I was j...Debra,<br />You need to stop reading my mail.:) I was just studying about Hannah today. It says year after year past, with no child. I was thinking that these are the situations that perplex and mock us. The year after year problems. The children that haven't come to themseves yet, the unsaved spouse, a chronic illness. These are the things we fret about.<br />My Pastor had a dream of two angels. One had obviously been in a battle. His friend inquired, "Limping?" in a voice that conveyed compassion and tenderness.<br />"Trusting," came the reply.<br />Oh, Debra. That is my goal. I may be limping, but I want to be trusting. And if I am trusting I can not be fretting. Your wonderful Bible Study has certainly confirmed this for me. <br />PS I left a comment on Melanie's blog this morning. Words escape me.Lisahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17653167953996361152noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4787192881528040602.post-36885802536093632992009-12-16T16:53:22.907-06:002009-12-16T16:53:22.907-06:00Oh' I forgot to tell you how much I love that...Oh' I forgot to tell you how much I love that cheery kitty cat. I'd like to have him here at my house everyday. You'd have to smile at that. <br /><br />Thank you for another wonderful message and a direction for my studying with the Lord.<br /><br />Love you, Tracy :)Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08643279791342765171noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4787192881528040602.post-3840112333781772962009-12-16T16:44:20.012-06:002009-12-16T16:44:20.012-06:00Hi Debra. I know it's true, we can either cho...Hi Debra. I know it's true, we can either choose to turn over what we have no control over anyway or stuggle with impossible situations. I envy those who can live by that truism (is that a word?). The smart mind tells me to let go, worry will get me nowhere but the part of me that has always thought I can help people but I why should the Lord help me. My mind keeps saying if you (meaning me) can't change your life why should I (meaning our Father) do it for you. I just feel that I've disappointed him so much. (I hate to think how I would feel if I had done something against another person). I'm grateful to know that I haven't done anything to anyone else. This is about my own (what I preceive as disappointments) to God.<br /><br />I'm working on casting those troubles into the hands of my Father. I'm trying to remember he does love me too. It's easy for me to believe he can love everyone no matter what their situation is. I'm working on believing he loves me too.<br /><br />To dear Melanie. My heart goes out to you at this difficult time. I know you are in Gods hands. You're in my heart and prayers. May God bless you with his strenght and comfort.<br /><br />To all here, Merry Christmas friends!<br /><br />Hugs and love...Tracy :)Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08643279791342765171noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4787192881528040602.post-10225228919816967432009-12-16T15:13:21.726-06:002009-12-16T15:13:21.726-06:00Great post ---loved your Scripture verses!
