God is the reason I am still standing and breathing today. : ) I love knowing that He always sees the bigger picture and that we can have total trust in that. My brother once shared this quote with me, "In the end everything will be fine. If it's not fine.... it's not the end yet." Always puts a smile my face.<BR/>M.L.M.L. @ The House of Whimsyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11876000107443188596noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8688951980399020435.post-12148534956770686922008-10-01T22:18:00.000-04:002008-10-01T22:18:00.000-04:00I am finding that getting back to daily devotions ...I am finding that getting back to daily devotions is really helping me a lot. It is helping to ground me and remind me who is in control as you were saying. It has been over a week since I started that and I am really glad I am. I find it easy to get up, go to the bathroom and then read my devotions before I do anything else. But then I don't get those early morning calls either to throw me off guard. Hope the rest of the week goes smoother for you.Neabearhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09311437927263063301noreply@blogger.com
