Today was one of those days jammed packed with stress. I was trying to juggle meetings, work, and carting around my precious baby. Near the day's end, I was at the end of my rope, truthfully....I just wanted to head home and cry...but I still had to lead worship for our STEP ministry. Something really cool happened as I prepared my heart to lead. I started focusing on God, and His power, might, and most of all His love for me. I was going to sing "Everyday", and the lyrics say "Everyday...I'll learn to stand upon your word." Bingo! I knew that I needed to go to His word, His love letter to me, to shift my stressful thinking, to peace. I wanted to share the promises I read today....I pray that as you read this, you will be reminded that no matter what is going on in your life...stress at work, in your marriage, in your recovery, in your finances,etc...that God has a love letter jam packed with nuggets of wisdom, comfort, peace, hope, and love, and it was created with You in mind!
