An awesome way to end a day.

Let the peace of Christ rule in your hearts (Col 3:15a)

It's difficult to have peace and receive God's peace carrying a burden that isn't yours to carry or yours to fix. Easy to say...not so hard to do. But then, you come at a place where its too heavy a load that it distracts or overwhelmes. That's how its been with me with family stuffs. Raw stuffs on the heart. All it took was taking time aside to be real (honest) with God, and lay it at His feet...And His peace comes. Wonderful! It truly is beyond my comprehension. The words I had don't do it justice. Without a doubt, I felt lighter than when I first began to pray. More than that...Lighter than when I first opened my eyes to start this day. Praise God!!!

Philippians 4:6-7 Be anxious for nothing, but in everything by prayer and supplication with thanksgiving let your requests be made known to God. And the peace of God, which surpasses all comprehension, will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus.

one more thing...He answers and shows up even in what we think is the smallest request... I found the house keys i thought I lost. The weirdest thing about it is...I found it at a place where I had looked carefully several times before. A God thing? Maybe...=)
