"So do not worry about tomorrow, for tomorrow will bring worries of its own. Today's trouble is enough for today." ~ Matthew 6:34
"The Lord your God is with you, He is mighty to save. He will take great delight in you, He will quiet you with His love, He will rejoice over you with singing." ~ Zephaniah 3:17
"The Lord is good, a refuge in times of trouble. He cares for those who trust in Him." ~ Nahum 1:7
Each of these verses came from dear women to my heart...and my heart was encouraged. Encouraged to live each day for what it is...what is right in front of me and release the fears to Him. To let go...to allow the Lord to hold the worries of my heart that He knows. To take my refuge in Him and find that today He has placed before me life...a life abundant.
There is hope, healing and safety found in Scripture...found in His words...found in Him.
Thank you dear friends for helping me find encouragement in Him...Your words mean more than you will ever know. Thank you for taking the time to encourage me, the Lord truly used you to help carry me.
Last night I picked up a book I read awhile ago, A New Kind of Normal and this quote just jumped off the page...
"Ruthless trust ultimately comes down to this: faith in the person of Jesus and hope in His promise. In spite of all disconcerting appearances, we stare down death without nervousness and anticipate resurrection solely because Jesus has said, "You Have my word on it."~ Brennan Manning
This quote starts the chapter titled "The Battle of Mind and Heart." Oh that pretty much sums it up...the battle between my mind and worries; and my heart and rest.
Thank you Lord that you know the worries and like your Word says, you will be my refuge. You will carry us through, because you care for us. Because you love us...
Because we have your WORD on it.

I'm just seeing your last couple posts now, Dana. I'm really sorry to hear that Camryn's clot is still there and that the Lovenox must continue.
This journey you are walking is already such a difficult one to endure and the added bumps of more shots along with the unknown is so much to endure. You continue to do it with such strength and grace, embracing and trusting Him every step of the way.
Still praying...
