In a storm of struggles, I have tried to control the elements, clasp the fist tight so as to protect self and happiness. But stress can be an addiction, and worry can be our lunge for control, and we forget the answer to this moment is always yes because of Christ.

Are stress and worry evidence of a soul too lazy, too undisciplined, to keep gaze fixed on God?

Faith thanks God in the middle of the story.

Stress isn't only a joy stealer. The way we respond to it can be sin.

You love as well as you are willing to be inconvenienced.

God’s not out to get you - He’s out to give to you.

And when I give thanks for the seemingly microscopic, I make a place for God to grow within me.
