So many times, without meaning to, we bring such unnecessary pain upon ourselves. The past few days have been such torture for me, but today, my wise daughter, Denise Young, helped me see that I only needed to look at the things that were causing me such hurt in a different way....and from another's perspective.

She told me that I needed "to rest in Jesus". I know that I try to make everything "OK" on my own. I pray about matters....but I forget to leave it with Him. I keep picking up the burden and trying to make it work the way that I think is best. As Dr. Phil so often says, "How is that working for you?" The answer is "not very well.....not very well at all."

My intentions always seem so right to me.....I want to make everything right. But, I guess what I am guilty of is wanting to do right according to what I think....and perhaps that thinking is not in line with what the Lord would like. I do not want to work against the Lord....so I am going to work on learning to back up and "rest in Jesus." I know that will bring about better results without all the hurt. After all, no one knows better than HE!!
