Sometimes I wish I could go back and do things differently if for no other reason than I wouldn't spend even half time worrying about the things I did, that just didn't matter. Age and wisdom are good friends for sure. My windows could stand a good washing too. Have a good day!

I'm just sure you are having a particular lovely evening since you're looking out (or in) through squeaky clean windows!<br /><br />I often think about people who face the failures and the trials of this life without the Lord. The world would indeed seem a fearful place. I am so thankful that as you said, "we should fear nothing except God." I don't want to be found disobedient. <br /><br />Blessings, Debbieno spring chickenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15772761727295689298noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6044361545139026110.post-31561814714153258852011-07-25T16:28:50.283-07:002011-07-25T16:28:50.283-07:00I like Romans 8:28, I preach it to myself quite of...I like Romans 8:28, I preach it to myself quite often. The storms of life are difficult while we are going through them, but I do believe they can be faith building as we wait to see what God will do.

It is hard to let go of controlling everything, but in the end, it's not for us to "make it happen", but to let it happen in it's own time. I think about that with my new job and how many hoops I'll now need to jump through, but I do believe that God sent me down this path for a reason...a good one...and He'll help me jump the hurdles.<br />Your blog is like a meditation site for me!

Trusting God always seems to be at the heart of it. AS IF He would ever fail us? And yet, it's a daily trusting as we go...<br /><br />This is such a good post, kind of right where I am too.<br /><br />xohttp://bitsandpieces-sonja.blogspot.com/https://www.blogger.com/profile/09254831447887637714noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6044361545139026110.post-74441303995441412212011-07-25T11:11:01.389-07:002011-07-25T11:11:01.389-07:00Be careful on the ladder!

I've resolved to just leave things in God's hands and not worry about it. I don't have the energy to worry about big giant things anyway.

It almost feels like a burden I need to unload. I actually am more thrilled with a 25 cent find I pick up at the Salvation Army than I ever was when I spent big money on items in the past. <br />Well I could ramble on and on. Your post are often thought provoking and I tend to get carried away. I'd better leave room for someone else to comment though.<br />Have fun with those windows.
