"In quietness and trust...Amen and Amen, Kim! <br /><br />"In quietness and trust is your strength...The Lord longs to be gracious to you; He rises to show you compassion." Is 30: 15, 18<br /><br />My last semester of grad studies...not nearly as intense as yours...but indeed, the stress I suffer is also because I think I am and have to be in control. But I'm not. When I think I am in control FEAR overwhelms and anxiety finds it's way into every nook and cranny of my body. <br /><br />He beckons us with rest, His way, and "rises to show us compassion." He is our "very present help in times of trouble...our mighty fortress, our strong tower."<br /><br />And He doesn't care about the C- I got this summer in a class because I was on overload. And he doesn't cross his arms and shake his head in chastisement but opens them wide, welcomes me in, and comforts me...enfolds me. <br /><br />I hope your teeth stop clenching...if I were taking stats at any level, I would have lock jaw. <br /><br />I will keep you in my prayers and celebrate His grace for you. Thanks for writing! <br /><br />I will eat my Golden Delicious apple today with this in mind!AliceRuthhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05137622795177402398noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5879175251528363458.post-38489192571302753842010-08-25T05:20:09.883-05:002010-08-25T05:20:09.883-05:00Thank you Kim, and may the Lord Jesus give you His...Thank you Kim, and may the Lord Jesus give you His Shalom - body, mind, and spirit for the days to come.
