"He tends his flock like a shepherd: 

He gathers the lambs in his arms and carries them close to his heart; 

he gently leads those that have young."

-Isaiah 40:11

I am so grateful for the Lord's leading. 

I fail so often on my own. 

I plan.

I re-plan.

I think I've got it all figured out....

then I am grossly made aware that I don't have it all figured out.

That my life is truly selfish.

That for all the good things I do,

I am still a sinful, selfish, undeserving person

who needs the redeeming love of my Savior! 

That taking up my cross and following Him

is a DAILY task. 

One that is not dependent on mood or circumstance,

sun or rain.

Yesterday was a day filled with "willing" myself to remain

positive even though I wanted to cry.

Even though, because of a decision I had made,

my day wasn't going so well.

After a few words with the Lord and some time laying quietly, 

I was reminded that peace comes from the Lord but that we must 

"rest in it". 

Help me Lord to not allow my emotions to dictate my mood.....

Thank you!
