Busy with the Best of Blogging Intentions

I am having a SUPER packed week...my thoughts are full...my lists are long...then, I broke my tooth (sneaking candy, argh) and had to make extra time to get that fixed.  *sigh*  I must say that I find it a bit ironic...or as I like to say creepy God thang...when both books I'm reading honed in on the same concept and Scripture today.  

So, as I push about heavy thoughts for sick loved ones and heavy to do lists...I get the kids coloring peacefully...I begin making dinner...saying over and over,  
"I am strong for all things in the One who constantly infuses strength into me."  Phil. 4:13

Christ is all-sufficient for every circumstance, for every eventuality and for every possibility. ~Lloyd-Jones

So, no...I haven't fallen off the planet...or the blogosphere...just thinking more thoughts than I'm writing in my spare time...

I collect my first tomatoes...and focus on hearing God say, "Bobbi, let Me be the Blessed Controller.  Surrender.  Accept my timing.  Accept my ways.  Accept my outcome.  Let your trust be in Me alone.  Though no one sees your choices or knows how difficult they are, make them for Me." ~Linda Dillow

Yes, it's been a Philippians 4 focused day.  "And the peace of God, which transcends all understanding, will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus."  If I make the choice to pray instead of worry, I will personally experience God's peace.  What a promise!!

stitch by stitch...promise by promise....prayer by prayer

I am so thankful for God's Word...It says to fix my mind on the positive and take every thought captive (2 Cor. 10:5)...He renews my mind when I take the negative thoughts captive and dwell on the positive. 

So, I'll wrap it up... ending with another gem from Paul's fabulous letter (just for me today)..."

Finally, SISTER, whatever is true, whatever is honorable, whatever is right, whatever is pure, whatever is lovely, whatever is of good repute, if there is any excellence and if anything worthy of praise, dwell on these things."
