I thought I had learned this lesson a few years ago when Jadyn left, but apparently I need a refresher!!! I HAVE NO REAL CONTROL OVER LIFE OR DEATH or much else for that matter……God is reminding me of this yet again. I found this hand written card of Jadyn’s while going through her things recently. Instead of keeping my eyes fixed on what is wrong, what is frustrating, what is causing fear and divisiveness, we are called to “keep our eyes on what is true, what is lovely, what is excellent and worthy of praise.” HUGE challenge right now isn’t it?
As the COVID 19 ordeal goes on longer and longer, the tension becoming palpable, I’m finding it harder to find peace. I listened to a podcast yesterday centered around this Bible verse……”You will keep in perfect peace all who trust in you, all whose thoughts are FIXED on you”-Isaiah 26:3…..I now have this written on a card next to my bed and read it several times before “trying” to go to sleep. (key word “trying”) I am writing these words for myself as much as anyone else!!!!! Blessings and Love, Kristin (Lets keep our eyes fixed upward)
