In between playtimes, I answer the office line, cut out shirts and sew quilts. My other 2 weekdays are solely for David and meetings. Its become a busy but very fulfilling schedule. &#8220;Controlled-chaos,&#8221; my mom called it, &#8220;like herding cats.&#8221; <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">That&#8217;s life&#8230; <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">So many prayers go up throughout my day: a relative suffering from esophageal cancer&#8230; <em>a daughter entering late pregnancy while her husband serves in the Marines&#8230; loss of contact with a &#8220;God-child&#8221; in Russia&#8230; Protection, equipping, and guidance for all the Bride of Christ (around the world)&#8230; and other daily issues that pop up from friends, clients and family<\/em>.

Listening to the stories of refugees fleeing Ukraine emphasizes the things that we truly <em>need<\/em>. It makes me thankful for my safety, and horrified for their situation all at the same time. I know God is watching over anyone who is looking for Him, and so I keep praying that every soul finds Jesus.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">As I listen to news and podcasts, check emails and updates via texts, I am reminded again and again &#8211; <strong>All my peace<\/strong> <em>is found in Him<\/em>&#8230; <strong>All my Hope<\/strong> <em>is anchored in Him<\/em>&#8230; <strong>All my joy<\/strong> <em>comes from Him.<\/em> He will supply my needs. His love is worth more to me than life itself. Life may be full of unknowns, but I know the <strong>Author of life<\/strong> and He knows me.
