I know. My hand looks really old and that's not my right hand. My right hand was taking the picture. I was trying something with my new camera. I can't remember what it was, but hopefully the black and white makes it not look so noticeable.
At least I'm consistent. Once again I changed my Scripture Memory Verse. Surprised? Nope. I'm not. As a result of waking up on a Sunday morning at 5:39AM I decided I didn't have a clue about how my new verse was going to help me fall back asleep. I just spent a lot of time online looking up Bible verses about panic attacks and how stress affects the human body. I started clicking around and taking several tests. The results actually proved that I handle anxiety pretty well. I wondered why they asked how I handle worry about the flu, plane crashes and traffic jams? I don't worry about the big things, just mainly my security and the future. Apparently it proves a lot and since it told me I handle it well, I'm not going to worry. One thing lead to another and I took a test to see if I'm an optimist or pessimist. I was just realistic and answered the questions honestly. That got me in trouble. I got 9 out of 15 as an optimist, but that made me an overall: Pessimist. Hmmm... Did I tell you I also took a test to see if I am a Type A Perfectionist? Yes, I sure did and yes, I am one. Can you believe the final question was: Do you think you are a perfectionist? Pretty funny. I guess I know myself.
Anyway, the weight is off my chest and I have a new verse to pull out tonight. After a couple of cups of coffee, a couple of tests, a couple of laughs at myself and a couple of new verses I think I'll go wake up my husband and get to church. :)

Have you ever read the devotional "Jesus Calling" by Sarah Young? Today's devotion says "You know that this day will bring difficulties, and you are trying to think your way through those trials. As you anticipate what is ahead of you, you forget that I am with you-now and always. Rehearsing your troubles results in experiencing them many times, whereas you are meant to go through them only when they actually occur. Do not multiply your suffering in this way! Instead, come to Me, and relax in My Peace. I will strengthen you and prepare you for this day, transforming your fear into confident trust."
I love this devotion and once again it is on the mark for me. Hopefully the words will provide a little comfort for you as well.
love you!

There are so many Scriptures that speak to a fearful heart. The Lord knows our frame. He knows our tendencies. Thank you for this Word this morning. Enjoy church. Talk with you soon. Love, A
LOVE your verse! Mine this month deals with fear as well. (Jan/Feb are always tough months for me)!
I am sooooo hoping I can go to the gathering next January!!!!!
Love you dear friend!

I really am a perfectionist because I'm in bed reading this on my iPad and saw where I spelled funny wrong, but am too lazy to get up and fix it on my other computer. Wonder what that means? It bugs me! :)
