I have been reading about our problems and cares.
Our worries and our health problems.
Our money problems.
It seems we are all in one need or another ; doesn't it?
Being a grown up sure is hard work.
I know being a child once many years ago I had lots of trouble then too.
I always thought that when I was grown ; I wouldn't have so many problems.
They are bigger now. more problems,than one can sometimes comprehend.
I know to lean on God.
If if were not for God and His words ; and your thoughts and prayers.
I would really go nuts.
I am about that way now.
I laid awake all night with only a couple hours of sleep; worrying about hubby ; our problems etc.
Then , I remembered that God is in control; He does care, and He is answering.
I need to keep my eyes on Jesus.
I am so grateful for a Heavenly Father who really cares about what goes on in my life.
and that He knows my every need.
Remember girls to rely on Him ; your friends and your beliefs.
Be thankful and grateful for what you have
What you have gone through.
Look over the problems you have had in the past and remember you did get through those problems.
Being a Farm girl.
We do have hard ships.
Women have always had them ; some how we get through them
I remember my grandmothers and my Mom ; what they went through as real farm women.
so many hardships and problems; but they continued on with their beliefs and faith.
Just a few thoughts; as I am going through the things I am having to go through myself now. hugs , love, prayers and good thoughts to all our farm girls , sheila

What a nice reminder, Sheila. Thanks for your words of faith. Just remember, sometimes it is the "hard" that makes it great.

I get up every morning determined to both change the world and have one hell of a good time. Sometimes this makes planning my day difficult.

Sheila - thank you for this beautiful post and the reminder that God does have it all under control. We get so funny sometimes thinking we are in control, don't we! Why would we want to hold onto problems when the Creator of the Universe says, Give Them to Me! My prayers are with you.

Shelia, you are a very wise and sweet lady. I am sure your words will help so many. My Grandma used to say worry never changed anything. She was right. But, we do all lay awake on some nights thinking about all the "things" in life, especailly negative things. Knowing to let at least some of it go and to know in your heart that things will work out one way or another is a great gift for all of us. As long as there is life there is hope and as long as there is hope anything is possible. Thank dear Shelia.
Hugs MJ

Also appreciating your post Sheila.
We are blessed with the fact that we have at about any time, some fellow farmgirls to turn to and to be comforted and helped by...what are sister's for? =)
