Well, after I wrote that blog the other night I headed to the shower. This is often my only place to think during the day. It is a time that I pray for people- just because it is quiet. I felt like God was wanting me to change my thinking about Olivia's dental appts and other upcoming things I was worried about. These appts, although not fun, are just a few days of her life. I need to instead focus on all of the fun things she gets to do on a regular basis. That's how kids think- she isn't dwelling on her appt or her upcoming ones, so why I am so worried? So I am trying to see the girls having fun during the day and be thankful that God has blessed us with fun days- as many people don't get those days. It is drastically changed the way I look at things and removed the burden I was carrying. I am so thankful God spoke to me. And I am thankful that Jesus says to leave our burdens with him. He'll take them and give me a lighter one. That's exactly what he did.

Yes, Kate! I usually like to carry my OWN burdens until I am so saddled down that I could cry all day. it is usually only then that I decide, that YES!! our God IS big enough to carry them! Geesh, there has to be an easier way!
After this post, I am inspired to shower more often. Perhaps then God would speak to me in such a personal and real way.
Thanks for sharing! What an encouraging perspective!
Any word on Trav's job?
