Adversity

Of course!  The devil wants to derail everything, cause anxiety, and fear.  Jake is going through a rough patch.....elevated blood pressure and chest pains.  As one of the biggest changes in my life approaches, I will not be discouraged by this assault.  I am believing God for Jake's health and finding the right way to take care of himself.

I sent Jake this today....Let not your heart be troubled: trust in God.  Peace I leave with you; my peace I give you.  I do not give to you as the world gives.  Do not let your hearts be troubled and do not be afraid. John 14 and 27.  I also encouraged him with the words that healing is available, just believe.

THINK - BE - DO

Working on timeline today....at least in my head.  It is beginning to take shape, this mission of getting everything ready - this mission of dismantling my life.  Can you imagine????  Everything has to go somewhere.  Every piece of silverware, every piece of furniture, EVERYTHING!  Sell - give away - store - throw away.  I always told my kids when facing a big job, just take it one bite at a time.  Now I get to put that in practice.

It is raining here today and I love the weather.  Very dark and beautiful!  It fits my mood, the sound of thunder, the rain, and darkness.  No, not a dark mood, but a somber mood, one of seriousness.  The weekend my mother died was like this and May always brings memories of her.  So perhaps there is an underlying layer of sadness.
