Remember where your feet are. Put your heart and your mind wherever your feet are. My eldest daughter reminded me of that. Two years ago she was living through a helllish situation and was torn in all directions and I had told her that to help her focus. Well, today there are troubles piling up all around me, and I am feeling that anxiety rise and I am torn too. She said, "Mama, put your heart and mind where your feet are." Be there in the moment and focus on your responsibilities where you are. You can't control all things at once. Follow your feet. Proud of my girl

I think all of us are currently going through trials, not only with Covid-19. I personally have a son-in-law stuck out of the country, he can't get home. I have a brother-in-law just diagnosed with terminal cancer that we love dearly. Remember what God says about refining us, putting us through a fire (test/hardship/etc) so we can come out purified/stronger. I know I am not quoting scripture, word for word, but you get the meaning. We must not lose faith. Replace fear with Faith. Instead of panic-pray to God. In uncertainty-trust God. In times of weakness, study The Word, for strength. People have been going through trials since Adam and Eve, but when you read they repented, turned from their sinful ways, and returned to God he saw them through. Your daughter remembered the training you gave her. Now stand firm and be uplifted. Love,Toogie

I am drawing strength from my faith and my family and my friends, including Cuties. Thank you! I will be praying for you and your family as well.

She tells this to her students too, when they are worried about things outside the classroom.

We all have things that we want to control and we can't. Not just this virus, but life worries and heartbreak and joy. It's hard for me to be in the moment when other worries are pulling, so I needed to hear that yesterday. I know that God is in control, and joy cometh in the morning.

She is amazing. A great mom to her daughter, and a great teacher and friend. And a great daughter too.

I'm one who wants to have a plan in place, and I can't plan for everything. It's hard to give that up!
