And so here it is. My first post! Not a long one, but an important one (especially for me!). It's just a verse, a verse my husband would ram down my throat physically if he could (but wouldn't because he's too lovely), because he knows I have become quite the expert worrier.
'Rejoice in the Lord always. I will say it again: Rejoice! Let your gentleness be evident to all. The Lord is near. Do not be anxious about anything, but in every situation, by prayer and petition, 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.
Finally, brothers and sisters, whatever is true, whatever is noble, whatever is right, whatever is pure, whatever is lovely, whatever is admirable—if anything is excellent or praiseworthy—think about such things. Whatever you have learned or received or heard from me, or seen in me—put it into practice. And the God of peace will be with you.'
Philippians 4:4-9
And so, this week? Actually let's start smaller. Tomorrow? I shall not worry about money or my job. I shall not worry about when we'll get back to Australia to see everyone, or how much I miss home, or whether my babies (to come, settle down please) will have Australian or Scottish accents, or my old job or keeping up with emails. I shall not worry about being a good wife or a good cook or why my plants aren't flowering (why won't you flower?!), and how clean the house is and why I'm still tired. I'm going to try my best to give it to God. Good reason number one - the Bible says to. Good reason number two - check good reason number one.
I feel better already!
