I considered it a honor and a blessing to read each and every comment that was left for me this weekend. 
Each and every struggle.  Worry.  Burden. Fear.
It was a joy and a privilege to pray for each of you by name.  Asking God to extend His mighty love, grace, hope and peace over your lives.
Thank you for your transparency, your honesty. For wanting more, wanting better.  
May your days from here on be full. May they be free.  May you find trust and beauty.
May you fly.


The Sweet & Simple Birdie necklace is finding it's way to The Stews who shared:


"One week ago my unborn son was diagnosed with a blockage in his brain. A blockage that may attribute to or involve other neurological problems. Upon his birth, he will be in the NICU where he will receive numerous tests that will determine whether or not brain surgery can reverse his hydrocephalus. This week has been a week full of constant worry. I am worried for my high risk delivery, for my little one to be immediately in intensive care, and for the physical pain that he will have to endure. My husband and I have decided that we have dedicated Benjamin to the Lord and, while our initial instinct screams for us to panic, we are choosing to continue to surrender our little one to God and to trust that he has great plans for Benjamin's life. But my mommy's heart is still so anxious! This verse is one that my husband has encouraged me with and prayed over my belly since the diagnosis. It helps me to remember that my baby needs my faith and trust in our Savior and not my worry."


Will you join with me in praying for a miracle in Benjamin's life and peace over the Stewart family as they prepare for his arrival?


Thank you so much Lisa Leonard Designs for this beautiful giveaway and for encouraging us to fly.

Every day I struggle with worry.
Irrational.  Permeating. Unnecessary worry.

It is perhaps my greatest weakness.
It keeps me up at night.  It often grips me.
But most of all, it holds me back from the beauty that is peace.

Time and time I come back to this verse.  This verse that is planted in my heart.  This verse that I need to let take place of my fears.  This verse that reminds me what exactly I need to let go.

What do you need to let go?

Leave me a comment.

Make a concerted effort to release what is holding you back from the life that you should be living.
