Week 1 Part 1 of Calm my Anxious Heart

Hello Ladies,
This is our first week  of calm my anxious heart. I will have another post later on what we are going over, but now we are going to read chapter 1 and in the back of the book you will see a bible study section fill out this portion. I encourage each and everyone one of us to comment on how this chapter has opened our eyes and / or pulled on our heart strings. I expect that we will learn a great deal in this book not only to help ourselves but others around us. I am going to post some scriptures on this post at the end. Do not forget to check out our face book page here: http://www.facebook.com/home.php#!/groups/InHim2011/
There might be other posts here due to some people do not know how to use blogger and visa-versa. Everything we post here will be linked to the face book page.  Don't forget to add InHim2011@live.com to your contact list also. I know that this is going to be an exciting journey for each and everyone of us as we encourage one another in Christ Jesus.


Bitterness

Ella's life leads me to believe that contement is more a state of mind than a physical state of being. I guess I should try to keep my mind and thoughts in tune with the Lord, and like Ella stay focused on the eternal, rather than the external circumstances.
