Calming His Child....

Back in 1996, I walked into a bookstore and saw this little hand made quote. I do not remember all of the details of my circumstances on that day...I DO remember the flood of tears when I read it, I picked it up, and when I gained my composure, I proceeded to purchase it. It's not like it was something new to me... I KNOW this... I BELIEVE this, but I had wanted some things to change so much, that it was all I was praying for. I have since learned that I can find happiness when things do not change...sometimes the miracle, the answer to prayer, if you will, is that the Lord changes ME! He gives me the strength to see anything through. I decided today to move this to a new place on the wall in my work room where I will see it every day.

  2. There are no words more powerful than these! What a wonderful motto to live by and I'm so glad that you've taken them to heart and learn to accept your reality rather than fight it and change it to your will...which would never work anyways. The Lord has a mysterious way of knowing what it best for us, especially when we are not able to see it.
