Slacker

Yes, I admit, I've been a slacker when it comes to my blog. I've been reading others and keeping up fairly well, just not writing on my own, I guess it would take too much thought on my part. It's not because I don't have enough going on, haha, couldn't be further from the truth, just can't organize my thoughts, so I'll just post randomly as things fly into and out of my head.

The living room is painted and Bob is starting on the dining room...I know,three days before I have to have a big Christmas dinner in there, but I refuse to become anxious over it...really I do, lol.

The tree is up and that's about all we can say about it, oh and the lights are on...maybe today we'll decorate it. I refuse to be anxious that the tree isn't done three days before Christmas...really I do.

I have to go to the mall today to pick up gifts that are only located there, did I mention I hate the mall? Even on a nice quiet day I dread it, so I refuse to be anxious that it is only three days before Christmas and it will be like a zoo...really I do.

I have to pick up some toys from one friend (an hour away, hoping to meet half way) and deliver them to another friend so she can bless her children with them for Christmas, and I refuse to be anxious that there are only three days before Christmas....really I do.

Baking....hmmm, knew I forgot something, turkey from freezer to fridge, stocking stuffers need bought, presents need wrapped, bring Anah to therapy/school, continue to potty train new puppy, bring presents to teachers and therapists....only three days to Christmas and I refuse to be anxious...really I do.


"Phl 4:6 Be anxious for nothing, but in everything by prayer and supplication with thanksgiving let your requests be made known to God."

Ahhh, yes. Lord, I am thankful that You lowered Yourself to come down to earth in human form, to be born of a poor virgin, to be raised as a simple child, to have an earthly ministry that changed the world, to be persecuted for our sins, to suffer, die, be buried, and RISE again, to ascend into heaven and sit at the right hand of God the Father, to send the Holy Spirit to be our comforter and to promise to come back for us. Yes, Lord, I am truly thankful and shall be anxious for nothing because I can do all things through Christ who strengthens me.

Lord, I am thankful for: You, my Godly husband, my children, my parents, my family, my friends, my church family, the roof over my head, the food that I eat, the many provisions that you give me that are more than I need and certainly much more than I deserve. Yes Lord, You have made me a blessed/thankful woman. I pray that I can grow more in You every day, knowing I am unworthy, yet thankful that You are greater than my unbelief, weakness, self doubt and anxieties.

Praying you all have a blessed Christmas, I know I will, and I will be anxious for nothing!!
