I had a reallybad day today. I got really frustrated when I saw Charissa go on the epinephrine for what seemed like the umpteenth time. I sulked, complained under my breath, and began to really question God in an unhealthy manner. When I called later in the evening, I rejoiced that she had weaned a little bit.... My heart felt like it received a bit of adrenaline. In other words, the condition of my heart depended on every bit of news, whether good or bad.
My wife said to me, "I think we need to repent. We're too happy with the good news and too sad with the bad."
She's right. We must rejoice in the character of God, not by our circumstances.
I rejoice greatly in the Lord that at last you have renewed your concern for me. Indeed, you have been concerned, but you had no opportunity to show it. I am not saying this because I am in need, for I have learned to be content whatever the circumstances. I know what it is to be in need, and I know what it is to have plenty. I have learned the secret of being content in any and every situation, whether well fed or hungry, whether living in plenty or in want. I can do everything through him who gives me strength. Philippians 4:10-13
Lord, teach us how to be content in you, whatever the circumstances. We can indeed handle anything with the strength that you give to us. Amen

I pray for continued strength for all of you...especially to rejoice in the Lord at all times. It's tough. )Hug(.
Your point about not being moved by circumstance but rather to stand firm in the unmovable, unchanging God, reminded me of this song:
Christ the Solid Rock
Words by Edward Mote. Music by William B. Bradbury.
My hope is built on nothing less
Than Jesus' blood and righteousness
I dare not trust
The sweetest frame
But wholly lean on Jesus' name
On Christ the solid rock I stand
All other ground is sinking sand
All other ground is sinking sand
When darkness hides His lovely face,
I rest on His unchanging grace,
Through every high and stormy gale
My anchor holds within the veil
On Christ the solid rock I stand
All other ground is sinking sand
All other ground is sinking sand
