In reply to Julie. Thank you for sharing this verse. This is one that is posted in our home. It is such a clear reminder for me when I become anxious.

One of my favorite when I need to just trust God and rest is Philippians 4:6-8 Do not be anxious about anything, but in everything by prayer and supplication with thanksgiving let your requests be made known to God. And the peace of God, which surpasses all understanding, will guard your hearts and your mind in Christ Jesus.Finally, brothers, whatever is true, whatever in honorable, whatever is just, whatever is pure, whatever is lovely, whatever is commendable, if there is any excellence, if there is anything worthy of praise, think about these things.

So God is telling us, to let him know our request but then let Him guard our hearts and minds (aren’t those the two things that wonder into those dark shadowy places) and think on all that is good. I love that Jesus will guard my heart and mind if I just ask and let Him.

In reply to Maila Fredriks. Thank you for sharing your heart in such a hard season. I wrote these words to remind myself of God's faithfulness. I too need many reminders. I am thankful that my words can impact you and others in difficult seasons.

My sweet friend, your words were exactly what my heart needed to hear this week. They were like a balm to my broken heart & I was not the only one touched by your words this week. I shared you on Facebook this morning & other hearts were touched, as well. Waiting on the Lord & choosing to sing dispite the current circumstances, for me, grief, seems to be a universal struggle that we all can relate with. Thank you for pouring out your heart & being raw with us as your adoption journey is so relevant to Ll our lives in one way or another. I love you always!

This post was SUCH a blessing Heather! Exactly what I needed to read and hear to help me process my “new normal”. I got a diagnosis I was not expecting last week. Osteoarthritis is not the worst thing I could have heard, but it’s worse than what I was expecting, and from a medical standpoint my right shoulder pain and limited range-of-motion isn’t expected to “get better”. Given that this affects so many activities (I’m right-handed, and I love to cook from scratch) I’m having to adjust a lot of expectations and find new ways of doing things that don’t hurt or do more damage. Sleeping is interesting. I have put “electric toothbrush” on my Christmas list, because brushing with the non-dominant hand is seriously awkward. [Lopsided smiley face here…] I think I’m going to just start every day rereading this post until I don’t feel a little angry and sad about this challenge I’m facing. These words of yours are my heart’s desire – “I will choose to sing, for my God has always been good to me.” Thank you for writing and posting these words.

Very little seems to be on my preferred schedule. Sometimes I am accepting of that reality and sometimes impatient and frustrated. Then I go to Lamentations 3:24 “The Lord is my portion, therefore I will wait for him.” I tell myself the truth about his power, his wisdom and his timing…and my lack.
I like the song and the group. Music is a special language of the heart.
