Matthew 6:28-34 Consider the lilies of the field, how they grow; they toil not, neither do they spin.... Wherefore, if God so clothe the grass of the field, which to day is, and to morrow is cast into the oven, shall he not much more clothe you, O ye of little faith? Therefore take no thought, saying, What shall we eat? or, What shall we drink? or, Wherewithal shall we be clothed? (For after all these things do the Gentiles seek:) for your heavenly Father knoweth that ye have need of all these things. But seek ye first the kingdom of God, and his righteousness; and all these things shall be added unto you. Take therefore no thought for the morrow: for the morrow shall take thought for the things of itself. Sufficient unto the day is the evil thereof.
I have recently been doing something I usually oppose - worrying. Oby is always a worrier, and I usually just tease him about it. But lately I've been joining in on his anxiety. Until today. It never ceases to amaze me that when I have something lingering in my mind, a friend will call or I'll happen across something in a book or on-line that relates and puts my mind to rest. Today my answer was in the scriptures, referenced above. I was filled with overwhelming peace as I was gently reminded, as I have seen many times in my life before, that Heavenly Father is aware of my needs and provides a way in all things.

I'm glad that things worked out and your worries have "gone away." Have a great Thanksgiving!
I'm a constant worryer. I've been doing acupuncture which helps a lot, but I still have that built up stress. (Unfortunately one of those things that comes along w/ infertility/miscarriages :( )
