Underneath are the everlasting arms

I truly have felt the everlasting arms the last while. Thanks to all who left encouraging comments and prayed. The desperation inside of me feels much less and there is more of resting. Just living life and finding God in the midst of it rather than trying so hard to perform and do life. Just being rather than doing. Not hiding and trying to ignore the heartaches of life but also not trying so hard to do things right but rather just facing each moment with God at my side, knowing that He can help me with whatever I need to face.
Two books I am reading right now are also playing into this being able to rest instead of perform. One was recommended by a friend in blog world..."Water from Stone" and the other is one I had read before but pulled out once more because of Sunday School..."Shattered Dreams" by Larry Crabb. The other author I can't remember right now but thanks goes to ampraisinghim for recommending it.
Love you all...keep on keeping on!!!!
