God grant me the serenity to accept the things I cannot change, Courage to change the things I can, and the wisdom to know the difference.
This serenity prayer is a little oval message hanging from my key chain so i tend to glance at it every once in awhile =) I was having a few confusing days this week just little problems. And I found my self doing it again - just thinking of me, worrying about me! Well Lori if you every read this I was want to say thank you because one of your post pretty much smacked me in the face and pushed me in the right direction again =) and i couldn't be more happy. I was extremely stressed I just felt that everything was on my shoulders and their was just decisions i had to make every moment and I just could do it, my head was going to pop off! Well luckily I read Lori's blog on Adoption and all these troubles these young children have to go through. I thought about my problems and realize they were nothing! My problems are not gone but now i'm not trying to track through the snow on my own anymore instead i'm just going to follow God's path he's already made for me =) I just have to keep reminding myself whenever i feel stressed/down that people around me are going through hard things too and mine are not the hardest. And I'm not alone in anything I do, I can do anything through christ who strengthens me.
My little tip for the day is Pray and Trust God and remember were not alone.. (It helps so so much!)

Oh Emily I'm so glad that my post made an impression on you. It's so true that we must keep our problems in perspective because there is always someone who has it worse than us. But oh how sweet our Jesus is for caring about our little problems as well as the big ones. Cast them ALL on Him.
