In Quietness and Trust...

I am grateful for the truth of Is. 30:15. "In quietness and trust in your strength." These words have been going through my heart for the last several weeks, and have been a big blessing and encouragement to me.

It has been easy to be tempted to be worried, stressed, concerned about various things- hard things at work etc, but the Lord's gentle reminder each day to me...just be quiet and trust. I can testify to the peace and calm and quiet and trust that He and only He has brought to my heart.

And, I am grateful for the joys He brings along the way to bring fresh courage.
  • Hummingbirds.
  • Mourning doves...even seeing one sitting on top of the grill the other day!
  • Fresh roses to pick.
  • Blueberry coffee, kindly supplied by a dear friend.
  • Laughter at work.
  • An evening of fellowship with friends this week...which included yummy steak....
  • Aiden smiles.
  • Framing some new pictures of Aiden and being able to enjoy them as I walk around the house.
  • Making motel reservations for our upcoming trip north. And, finding out yesterday I don't have to work the day after we get back in October. Yes!!!
  • Knowing for a certainty that the Lord is in control, and that He is absolutely trustworthy.
