Fearful? Get Busy!

I'm sitting here this morning with my cup of coffee. Thinking. Praying. So many unknowns are flying around in my head...a windstorm of thoughts and concerns. Will my friend's marriage survive this recent betrayal? Is my dad going to receive a good report at the oncologist's office today? Will I still be working at my present job in 6 months? And what about these elections....and the economy...and the increase in crimes. As I look at the calendar it states it is spring but it sure doesn't feel like it! God, I try to remember that you are in control of all things...but I get too caught up in what is happening around me. When I think back of all the things I've feared in the past, my biggest fear is always of the unknown. I came across this quote: "Inaction breeds doubt and fear, Action breeds confidence and courage. If you want to conquer fear, do not sit home and think about it. Go out and get busy." -Dale Carnegie
I like that. I will go and get busy now.

I'm enjoying a cup of coffee and Pinera and just read your post... I look forward to future steps in our drama team with you and hope we all "get busy"! I'm amazed at the hope that's needed all around us... I'm slowly coming to grips with the fact that there will always be more hurting people around me than I can help... Keep encouraging! Keep pressing in and thanks for all that you do!

I can't wait for consistent nice weather. They are coming to open my sprinklers on April 30, so things are looking up and up (at least on a calender).

Wow, I so relate to this today. Thanks for the reminder to "get busy", which also might help with or goal to have a second child . . .: )
