Calm My Anxious Heart: A Woman's Guide to Contentment

Starting a new Bible study or two for Lent...you know me, I don't always stick with these things! I found this e-book on amazon for free right now, and I think it was God sent!

Chapter 1: Webster's definition of perspective: looking through; seeing clearly; the capacity to view things in their true relation of relative importance." Therefore, an eternal perspective is God's way of seeing. When we have God's perspective, we view our lives and evaluate what is important from His viewpoint.

Positives:
healthy children
married to my best friend
job I love
healthy extended family
church family
house
food
cars
clothes
enough extra so we don't have to stress about each and every thing we spend

Negatives:
weigh too much
don't have enough 'me' time
feel like I don't have close friends at work, etc. anymore
would like to have more discretionary money to spend
house needs updating
need more space in house
would like the baby to be healthier..not as many cold, ear infections, etc.
would like more sleep!

Now the question is "Which list do I spend the majority of my time dwelling on?" I think I DO spend more time on the positives!!
