Do not be anxious about anything

"Do not be anxious about anything, but in everything, with thanksgiving, present your requests to God, and the peace of God, which transcends all understanding, will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus." Phillipians 4:6-7

Please forgive me for letting so many weeks go by without writing anything. I have often thought about writing but have not been able to find the words to put on paper. As Grace continues to get older, I find it harder and harder to share with you in detail what is going on in her life. She covets her privacy. I hope you will understand.

What we do continue to need from you is prayer. Life looks different in our home than in most homes of a 9 year old little girl but thankfully God is not surprised by that. Most days I take comfort in knowing that everyday was planned out for us before even one of them came into being. But, unfortunately, some days, I let fear and anxiety get the better of me and I begin to question. These are the days that I take my eyes off of Jesus...these are the days when I am the most sad.

This evening I watched Grace experience this same thing for the first time in her life. Something, she has never experienced. She is really growing up. Thankfully, I had spent the better part of my day reading my Bible; God had equipped me for what was ahead! As we faced some really hard things, we leaned heavily on the Lord and were comforted by His word. Most importantly, we were reminded that we must give our fear over to God and let him do the worrying. As I held Grace until she fell asleep, I kept reminding her of His words, the same words that He had me read today. God is so good!

Thank you for continuing to pray for our family!

We love each of you,

Carrie
