This is what I am feeling today. It has been snowing all day, and I have been tidying up a bit, watching movies with my kids, sitting by a blazing fire… all tucked in by God and a blanket of white stuff. I am working through a study called “Calm My Anxious Heart”, by Linda Dillow. It has been a great journey through God’s Word, and our call to be satisfied in Christ no matter what the circumstances. The “rules” are:
- Never allow yourself to complain about anything, not even the weather.
- Never picture yourself in any other circumstances or someplace else.
- Never compare your lot with another’s.
- Never allow yourself to wish this or that had been otherwise. And,
- Never dwell on tomorrow- it belongs to God.
Usually easier said than done. But not today. “The Lord is my peace. I shall not live in anxiety. He puts me under His wing of comfort and calms my spirit within me. And I shall keep my mind stayed on Him forever.” Gotta run, the hot cocoa is ready!

Hey girl!
I’m so glad that you are blogging so that I can keep up with things in Idaho. Thanks for the tip on Linda Dillow. I will have to check her out because I’m starting Beth Moore’s latest study and when I’m finished, I will have completed all of her studies. Isn’t it great to share what God is doing in your life and know that others are listening?

It is a great study. Fear and anxiety are two of my biggest demons. Thanks for “listening.” Merry Christmas!

Fear and anxiety are mine too…until I remember the rules! Thanks for reminding me! Love you.
