• Faith vs Fear

  I got a few kind responses from friends in regard to my post Quiet Anxiety a few days ago. I also received a few "you wrote just how I feel" responses, usually followed with "although I don't have as many children as you." So, we are all victims of fear or anxiety at times, since we are all living this life that contains challenges - often daily ones. I wanted to post this clip that a friend sent from a devotion, it is so true.

  We are living in extraordinary times that call for extraordinary faith. Our Father is not surprised by the events of our life nor is He unaware of our struggles.  Each and every one of them must pass through His hands and
  came to us with His permission.  Trust Him.  Abandon yourself to Him in childlike faith, knowing that no matter how you feel, no matter what you see - He is in control.  Choose to give Him praise now - when the skies are
  dark and the winds are blowing.  And when the storm is over, you will see the evidence of His hand and heart at work in your life.

  My pastor also said this today that hit home, "Walk by faith, not fear, because I believe in the One who brought me here."

  Just for a smile, here's Elijah and a bucket of water, which he finds most entertaining.

  

  This is about how much he enjoys getting wet, the whole body in the pool is more than he generally cares for.

  

  Happy Sunday!
