Sweet...

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 will guard your hearts and your minds in Jesus Christ. -Philippians 4:6-7
 It is uncanny to me how a scripture will show up in my life at the most opportune time. This verse was on a friends site and the first thing I saw two mornings ago. It had been a rough day. With a move, a school year to wrap up, and a hubby working out of town life is a BIG juggle. 
 Fortunately I have wonderful extended family support, great friends, and supportive and fun neighbors that keep me going and help our little family run smoother.  But, even with all that there are days that life and a little bit of the devil get to you and throw a cog in the wheel.  
Just at that moment when it would be easy to feel glum I have a friend that is good enough to remind me I have even more support than just friends and family.  I have an AWESOME God! Who takes care of those small little issues of life.  He will even carry us when the load seems much too heavy for our own human arms to carry. He sends us support in the form of friends, family, a nice note, a fun joke, a dinner at the table with your children, or a solution to a problem.  
This scripture reminds us that we need to communicate with our Father and make him aware of our needs and desires. He will listen and he will answer in his own perfect timing.
