Glad you are feeling better, we all, well, I am often anxious and worry 
about everything!! *smile* that verse that says be anxious about nothing, 
well, I often find myself worrying about everything!!  I try to remind 
myself that worrying does not have a positive result, it doesn't change my 
feelings to trust and faith.  It is true that God uses Phill, but He can use 
each of us too, after all, it is not Phill, you or me that does the 
encouraging, but it is God through us.
Have a good day!!
Love
Rhonda
