Refusing to worry (Or at least trying to)...

It seems as though  the whole month of March , thus far, in the book, Jesus Calling has been written just for me!

March 4, challenged me...

"Refuse to worry! In this world there will always be something enticing you to worry. That is the nature of a fallen, fractured planet: Things are not as they should be. So the temptation to be anxious is constantly with you, trying to worm its way into your mind. The best defense is a continual communication with Me, richly seasoned with  thanksgiving. Awareness of My Presence fills your mind with Light and Peace, leaving no room for fear. This awareness lifts  you up above your circumstances, enabling you to see problems form My perspective. Live close to ME! together we can keep the wolves of worry at bay. "

So that is where I have been this week...

We do not know anything more as of right now...

Just please continue to pray for:
*Josie's test on Monday
*That the tests go smoothly despite the fact that J's sleep and eating habits will be challenged.
*That the photos that we receive on Monday are adequate for a "Blueprint" for the surgeon for surgery. And that we do not need to have Josie endure additional tests..

We are grateful for the prayers and love....Our Pediatrician called to check in with us this week....She shared that she has had many kiddos go through Open Heart surgery, and they do great! She assured us that she would be thinking about us, and cheering Josie on as well...It is great to feel like we have another player on our team!

I will update soon after Monday to share how things went for Little Miss Josie Mae...

But, for the bottom of our hearts, thank you for the prayers, and  love!

  1. i've found my readings from "Jesus Calling" to be hitting me the same way. Timely. Truthful. Reminding me to trust.

    So glad your pediatrician is involved and supportive. We still know this is very scary, and pray for comfort - heart, mind, body, soul - for each of you.
