New challenges...

It's amazing how we are faced with new challenges over and over again! I guess I keep waiting for that time when life is stress free and I have conquered all challenges. Yeah right...The longer I think that way, the longer I'm going to be faced with new challenges. My newest challenge is a good one. It is something I have brought into my life, and welcome very much! This is something for me. I found myself looking for someone to do this with, but realized I can do this!! Just me. And I need to do something just for me....besides...I always have God! I am determined to be a "happy skinny little wife" for my husband...hee hee :) I deserve it, and he deserves it. I really want to feel healthy and more energetic...I'm sick and tired of feeling sick and tired!!!
"God, give me the strength to stay on this path. It is the best thing I could do for myself, my husband, friends, and kids. Amen"

Worry and Faith...

Someone very close to me, from my past, once said these words to me.."It's impossible to WORRY and have FAITH at the same time"! It is one of my biggest struggles. I worry about my kids, and my grandson more than I care to. I want so badly to trust that everything will be okay, and I KNOW it will. Why do I still worry? My mind is constantly running senarios...and usually not ideal ones either. Always thinking about the "What If's". I want so badly just to have faith, and let go & let God. That is why I must stay in constant prayer about this....
"Lord, please help me to know that you are in control, and that everything is just as it should be. Let me feel the peace that you offer. Help me to remember that you are in control. Help me to remember that my childrens destiny's are theirs, not mine!! It is their journey...and you are guiding them. Amen"
