This is my first post, so we'll see how it goes.... There's a winter storm outside. It's 11:30 pm and I can hear the wind beating the snow on my window. My husband is out in the storm plowing snow throughout the night. Whenever there is a storm like this, I am reminded, God is in control. There's absolutely nothing I can do to change the amount of snow that will come or
the strength of the wind. I can worry about a lot of things - Is my husband safe? Are my children who are at friends safe? Will the power go out? What will tomorrow bring? I am thankful that in the midst of the storm, there is peace. Peace that only my God can bring. Now I just need to rest in it. Goodnight!

You're so right...I wonder why it is so hard for us to not worry about it all though! Thanks for posting. Love you!
Hmm. I have thought MUCH about trust lately. In times of waiting and wondering, I like to allow fears to creep in. The "what ifs" are usually the worst. Several Sunday evenings ago, my pastor spoke on Prov 3:5&6. "Trust in the Lord with all your heart, and lean..." He associated "lean" to a rock climber putting all his weight on the rope that holds him. I took the analogy a little further since I'm sure my rope is twitching with my nervousness and fears (musingly job related at the time).
I'm quite certain that it is human to fear, but I have a confidence that the God who holds me is quite capable of holding me especially when I quake.
