Some day I shall return to the site and read others ... expecting to find the same. Now a complex sentence for possible reflection and application: To have the intentionality of life and with life to live life with what you already know in the years months days hours minutes seconds before you without undue regret for those behind you is a Grace from God himself.

Now a complex sentence for possible reflection and application:
To have the intentionality of life and with life to live life
with what you already know
in the years months days hours minutes seconds before you
without undue regret for those behind you
is a Grace from God himself.

Psalm 27:13-14 is one of my favorite passages of Scripture. Thanks for the encouraging reminders here -- it's good to know I'm not alone in the struggle to wait well!

There is no distinction between physical health, emotional well-being, intellectual nurturing, and spiritual vibrancy. I'm suggesting that medicine, spirituality, fitness, diet, philosophy, and emotional care are all interconnected. Most of us are fully aware of our brokenness in all these areas, and yet for some reason our modern day western faith compartmentalizes these domains. Jesus exemplified a gospel that was holistic. He didn't just heal people spiritually, he healed their physical and emotional brokenness as well.

One of the reasons why 'do not be anxious' is a repeated theme in the Word of God is because He probably knew that we would worry and be anxious.I'm humbled by our God who knows all-good and bad-- and loves us enough to prepare us for the worst. One habit I learned just in the past couple of months is eliminate further thought about the things that are beyond my control. I'll talk about it for a millisecond and realize-- this Issue #312 is beyond my control...and then I file it in my "Oh Well" folder. :) It's a silly technique, but it works for me...
