I was intriqued enough by an eloquent forwarded email to give the book "The Purpose Driven Life" a try. I am on day 3. I think it will be a good thing for me. I've never been big on "self-help" books and this really isn't one of those. It's all about God and figuring out His plan for you. Not light reading, but in this time of uncertainity in my life, it is well-received. As I am a faithful person, I think I just need some reassurance that God says (and means), "I know what I am planning for you...I have good plans for you, not plans to hurt you. I will give you hope and a good future." -Jeremiah 29:11, New Century Version.
I have recorded some of these passages/quotes in the journal I'm keeping for the baby. I think one day he/she will be able to benefit from these words and from his/her mother's feelings that, truly, we are loved and cared for by Him.

I recently had a conversation about anxiety with Cindy (did you know her at all, one of my roommates?) and she was gently reminding me that God doesn't want us to be anxious. That is slowly becoming a mantra for me... "God doesn't want me to be anxious."
