Fear grips us and changes the way we think, the way we feel and the way we live. Living in fear produces biochemicals in our body that weakens our immune system and leaves us vulnerable. Today I share a story about turning fear into fascination and changing my perspective.
Turn off the television. The news is full of fear mongering and you are a target. Stop feeding the fear. Having faith gives a person peace in these turbulent times. I find peace with God and staying busy with my art. It helps to chase away the anxiety and the fear.

Kathryn Christian sang to me along with her friend, a music therapist while I was hospitalized after “Bust a Gut”. They both had harps and a voice like an angel. I thought I had surely gone to heaven and heard the angels singing while in ICU. She is an angel put here on earth, I do believe.

Faith and Hope
Living for over six decades with these chronic issues that doctors seemed to know little or nothing about often left me feeling defeated and with little hope. I found my courage and my strength through my faith. I found these daily devotionals by Sara such encouraging words that I hope reach out to you too, wherever you are and whatever you’re going through.
