God has been blessing me with overwhelming peace this week. Oswald Chambers was helpful this week as well and pointed my attention to Matthew 6:25-34. I do trust Jesus and I am waiting on Him.
I trusted Him in one situation and received results that very night! This job situation is in his hands but is taking longer. It is good to know that I have done my part and can 'chill' until I get the answer.
Meanwhile, I have been enjoying the snow days. (But why couldn't we have it for Christmas?) I actually got out and shoveled for awhile yesterday. Then soon after Jo and I went back inside our landlord finally came and used a snow blower. Oh well, we gave him a good start. Fun stuff. I did take some pictures but I forgot my sd card drive at home and can't get them on here right now.
26Look at the birds of the air, that they do not sow, nor reap nor gather into barns, and yet your heavenly Father feeds them. Are you not worth much more than they?
27And who of you by being worried can add a single hour to his life?
28And why are you worried about clothing? Observe how the lilies of the field grow; they do not toil nor do they spin,
29yet I say to you that not even Solomon in all his glory clothed himself like one of these.
30But if God so clothes the grass of the field, which is alive today and tomorrow is thrown into the furnace, will He not much more clothe you? You of little faith!
31Do not worry then, saying, 'What will we eat?' or 'What will we drink?' or 'What will we wear for clothing?'
32For the Gentiles eagerly seek all these things; for your heavenly Father knows that you need all these things.
33But seek first His kingdom and His righteousness, and all these things will be added to you.
34So do not worry about tomorrow; for tomorrow will care for itself. Each day has enough trouble of its own.

Esther, I just left a long comment and then lost it...
basically wanted to say I have enjoyed your recent posts. It is so true that as we place our trust in Him, peace follows.
Love you,

It is amazing how nothing helps us grow more than discomfort. It is so true though that if we place our trust in Jesus, we will know his peace.
I will remember you to our Father.
