Stop feeling sorry for yourself..



Psalm 33:3

Sing to him a new song; play skillfully, and shout for joy.

 In the past 2 weeks, I have had many things to feel scared of, many things to worry about, to cry about.  Yesterday in the morning, I realized, "Stop feeling so sorry for yourself! Snap out of it!"
Recent events put my woes into better perspective.  As another friend described snapping out of her own woes, it is "humbling." It is humbling to remember how precious this gift of life is.  It is humbling to know that our life is held in a delicate balance and that truly God is the only one in control of it all.
I've read a few other blogs and articles that helped me this morning to reframe my own thinking more. 

Here were some of my reads--
