I need to piggy back onto yesterday’s post. As I finished writing the blog I went into the kitchen where both older daughters wanted to talk about everyone spending the night. Was this troubling to mom? Was it too much to have so many in the house all day instead of just in the late afternoon and evening? I told them we’d simply find out today. Well, it was a wonderful day. Everyone was very respectful of noise and giving time for rest. Everyone loves mom and grandma.

Learning to give God our fears and to not act on them has been a difficult step for me. I still have fears which surface, but I’m now seeing how important it is to wait before taking action. If God wants action taken on fears the motivation to do this is quite different. I can sense the Spirit’s nudge in that case. When it is my fear alone I am anxious as well as fearful. The urgency to act on this fear is generated very differently and that’s when I need to wait. As in yesterday, I find that everyone involved was as concerned as me. Wow, God is GOOD!
