DOn't be anxious. Pray about things. Trust God. Be thankful. Rejoice (even when you don't feel like it). It takes practice and at times I need to be reminded. It's always such a wonderful relief when I snap out of anxiety mode and into trusting God again. God's peace is precious. :)<br />Vilisihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02432920165316419565noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9009205425179258534.post-23486982468801212262013-06-08T00:06:46.342-07:002013-06-08T00:06:46.342-07:00Hi Ken,

If something does not go according to my plan then I do not worry about it. Sometimes I have been held up on a drive and then discovered there was a reason for it. The main thing in this world is to stay in the eye of the hurricane - so to speak - rest in the Lord where we have peace. God bless you and enjoy your holiday.Brendahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16165344093549650260noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9009205425179258534.post-36629492709456521122013-06-07T15:51:36.365-07:002013-06-07T15:51:36.365-07:00Karen, You are welcome, and thank you for visiting...Karen, You are welcome, and thank you for visiting and leaving your comment.
