Good quote....

"Stress is the gap between what we expect to happen and what's actually happening." Gary Smalley
It seems so simply explained when it is so complicated to change. I was reminded of this quote tonight as I brought home my crying and distraught daughter. She was upset because things did not go as she expected. There was a gap between what she expected and what was actually happening. And her little brother kept saying, "please calm down Lilly" most of the way home. This must be what we look like to the Lord when we are stressed. Hebrews 4:1, 9-11 "Therefore, let us fear if, while a promise remains of entering His rest, any one of you may seem to have come short of it.....So there remains a Sabbath rest for the people of God. For the one who has entered His rest has himself also rested from his works, as God did from His. Therefore let us be diligent to enter that rest, so that no one will fall, through following the same example of disobedience."
