RIGHT NOW

"Wait on the Lord; Be of good courage,
and He shall strengthen your heart . . . "
~ Psalm 27:14

PEOPLE ALL AROUND THE WORLD are gravitating to a RIGHT NOW mentality.

Patience, for many of us, presents an ever-increasing problem. We want every thing we want, and we want it Right Now!

We're often stressed because people don't always address our issues and/or our possessions don't always accumulate, instantly.

Since stress survivors fall into the want-it-right-now category too, we constantly remind ourselves that whether we like it or not, some things take time . . . Plus, they're bequeathed by God's timing. 

When overwrought with stress and struggling with stress-related issues, we've witnessed a Powerful Peace in seeking God's word and relying on His promises. 

Sure, that's easier said than done. But then, de-stress battles--as with all battles--require great strength. Therefore, stress survivors affirm that waiting on the Lord is our greatest source of strength.  

We've decided that whatever  measure we must meet, we'll do it. We believe, when we allow the Lord to address out stress, we'll receive just what we want . . . with no stresses attached.  


Peace I leave with you . . .

DIFFICULT DAYS

"...For He makes His sun rise on the evil and on the good,  
 and sends rain on the just and on the unjust."  
Matthew 5:45

The Good, the Evil, and the Ugly, all share similar stresses.

Without respect to who we are, where we are, or what our lives consist of, we all experience difficult days. 

For stress survivors, there's been times when it seemed chaos would never end.

In some way or other, our nightmares extended into morning madness . . . morning madness escalated into daytime drama . . . and daytime drama mounted into big balls of confusion and stress.  

Whether we can fully understand our stressful dilemmas or not, the way we perceive them, enables us to better deal with them.

Because difficult days require all the strength we can muster, stress survivors cling to the fact that inclement issues befall us all. Neither the just, nor the unjust escapes inevitable seasons of stress. 

No doubt, when difficult days appear, delivering major storms or mild showers, we stress survivors cannot afford the luxury to slosh around in stress.

Peace I Leave With You . . .
