Do Not Rush. Trust.

Keep a Quiet Heart
Today was snowday #2 and an unexpected day at home.
but somehow I felt at peace about that today,
and I didn't worry if I didn't get everything I wanted to get done done.
Today I did some more research on Candida ( a medical term not a Geographical location)

Last week I made the discovery of this wierd yeast that is okay in small doses,
but after large quantities of antibiotic can kinda take over your body.( yeah it sounded kinda scary to me too!) I've been having strange symptoms ever since my appendix burst in 2009. So to spare you all the many symptoms and to make a long story short.
I am now on a no sugar no carbs diet.
yes I said that right no carbs! Oh man! I love my bread!
But it is not the end of my life ,and today I have been discovering all the things I can eat.
All the meat I want, eggs, milk , yoghurt, all veggies, some fruits , some nuts, and ....okay that's about it.
Call me wierd ,but I decided out of all that long list of things to eat on my day off I would make........ liver and onions

It was actually quite delicous with a nice fresh green salad and avocados.
I am not going to die on this diet .I am by God's grace going to balance this nasty yeast.
and someday I will eat chocolate again....boo hoo I said the word I really shouldn't talk about that sweet dark goodness.

(by the way I also painted our basement bathroom red , thus the pictures of a red basement room.)
what I really wanted to share with everyone was this little blurb I read out of Elizabeth Elliot's book "keep a quiet heart"

"I think I find most help in trying to look on all the interruptions and hindrances to work that one has planned out for oneself as discipline, trials sent by God to help one against getting selfish over one's work. Then one can feel that perhaps one's true work- One's work for God -
consists in doing some trifling haphazard thing that has been thrown into one's day. It is not a waste of time, as one is tempted to think, it is the most important part of the work of the day- the part one can best offer to God. After such a hindrance, do not rush after the planned work; trust that the time to finish it will be given sometime, and keep a quiet heart about it."
Annie Keary, 1825-1879

That really encouraged and convicted me when I get all bent out of shape because I didn't get everything done that I wanted to
I am praying for a quiet heart in the future .
