Pierce woke up and wanted to watch "Thooper Why" (Super Why). "No, mom, you don't thay Thooper Why, you thay THOOPER Why." :)
David has been dealing with some stressful issues in his business: difficult merchants, people questioning his integrity when he works so hard to establish relationship and trustworthiness with every client, and other corporate issues. All of these things challenge our financial stability. Not only do I pay the bills and watch the money leave every month, I, as the wife, am the sounding board for all of these issues. My husband is a communicator and needs to vent. I don't mind. I'm glad I know what's on his mind and heart at any given moment, but I tend to be the sponge instead of the sounding board. I soak up all the stress and become a walking ball of stress and it plays out in everything I do.
All that to say, my Women's Ministry Leader gave me a devotional book that I LOVE called Jesus Calling by Sarah Young.
December 10
Make me the focal point of your search for security. In your private thoughts, you are still trying to order your world so that it is predictable and feels safe. Not only is this an impossible goal, but it is also counterproductive to spiritual growth. When your private world feels unsteady and you grip My hand for support, you are living in conscious dependence on Me.
Instead of yearning for problem-free life, rejoice that trouble can highlight your awareness of My Presence. In the darkness of adversity, you are able to see more clearly the radiance of My Face. Accept the value of problems in this life, considering them pure joy. Remember that you have an eternity of trouble-free living awaiting you in heaven.
Is 41:10; Ps 139:10; James 1:2
