When someone says what they've been doing to combat a stress in their life, Dr. Phil always asks, "How's that working for you?"

Dare I ask the same of me? Of you? How's your strategy working? I've walked through some bigger things - divorce, blended family, depression, etc. - and some daily things - my world record shortest temper and jaw-dropping impatience. I came up up with some strategies as a single mother because I was too tired to do any more. Well, those strategies aren't working for me. Big time. And now my kids are old enough to see it. 

This may seem unrelated but have you set up camp in your faith in God? Put some poles up and a flimsy tarp? Or are you digging down and pouring a permanent foundation? Putting up walls that are to last? What's is your architectural plan for you faith and how are you executing it?
