Let's see: Wee Kirk in Massachusetts happened in May. That took my time and energy; took us both to a part of our country we hadn't seen before; a great time for us both, and, it was important.
...Doctor's appointments...Boy, way too many of them in the last 3 months. Those take time and they are important.
...Grandchildren graduating from high school...Those times just come once and they are new memories and are so very important.
...Project Linus is so important to me...There are so many children that are hurting.
...There are things that I want to do and need to do and...the list is so long.
But... I regret not sitting down and telling all of you who may look at this ( which translates to talking with God) what is on my heart.
I have several small devotional books that I use. Today I picked up one of the many, opened it and read wherever it opened to. Today is was "Day 204", titled "The Replenishment of Prayer". This particular day was written by Charles Swindoll and it really felt like it was directed right at me.
The script for this day was Mark 1:35.."Very early in the morning, while it was still dark, Jesus got up, left the house and went off to a solitary place, where he prayed." He ended his devotion with: "Feeling crushed by the crowed thse days? Pushed into a corner from which there is no escape? Anxiety reaching a fever pitch? Stop. Pray. Try turning it over to One who can handle your load."

We had an older friend that once said during a discussion of "turning things over to God" that he did that. He wrote things down and then turned them over to God...but, he kept a carbon copy so he could check to see if God had taken care of all of it!! :-)...Joyce
