"Who except God can give you peace? Has the world ever been able to satisfy the heart?"
-- St. Gerard Majella
I am just so happy now... so many thoughts have just disappeared after I accepted and acknowledged the presence of the Lord back into my life. I see that I was struggling with my will to do it myself, and in seeing things through "my way" led to so many corrupted ways of thinking. It was a never ending chasing the tail.
Words/verses that I read last night and this morning:
From Gospel Pearls:
Don't you realize your can worship things or people by paying them too much attention? You can worship them by dedicating your life to impressing them, or by allowing their opinion to determine your self-worth or esteem. Those things are idols in your life.
John 16:31-33
Jesus answered them, "Do you now believe? Indeed the hour is coming, yes, has now come, that you will be scattered, each to his own, and will leave Me alone. And yet I am not alone, because the Father is with Me. These things I have spoken to you, that in Me you may have peace. In the world you will have tribulation; but be of good cheer, I have overcome the world."
My nieces are asking me to spend some time with them over my shoulder, so I am having a hard time concentrating. I will write more later.
Much Peace.

Thank you Michele for your encouraging comment. Yes, I am dragging through while being pregnant with my third. It is a challenge for me, but the Lord carries me through. A great encouraging post today you have started---a good reminder to focus on God's Kingdom purposes rather than things or circumstances. Hope you have a blessed week!
