Always worrying...

July 20 2005
Well its a new day, so that means that I have learned something new today. And it just happens to be something that I want to share with anyone who might be reading this. I am a worrier. Its what I do. I worry about my family. I worry about my friends. I worry about school. And there always seems to be some "situation" that has me worring about how someone took something I said....or how this or that person is viewing me and my meaning behind the things I do. See.....always worrying. Well, last night I was going through this old journal I had that I would write in during my quiet times. I read an entry from June of last year and it basically said everything that I said at the beginning of this blog. Then I had referenced Matthew 6:25-27. It says, "Therefore I tell you,do not worry about your life, what you will eat or drink;or about your body, what you will wear. Is not life more important than food, and the body more important than clothes? Look at the birds of the air; they do not sow or reap or store away in barns, and yet your heavenly Father feeds them. Are you not much more valuable than they? Who of you by worrying can add a single hour to his life? ".......Wow.....That pretty much spells it out. It is pointless to worry. What does it accomplish? The battle has already been won. We have nothing to worry about it. Our Father who loves us beyond comprehension wants to take care of all our needs. We just have to trust, to submit completely, and we will be blessed. God has such huge plans for all of us, and His plans far exceed our wildest dreams. I pray that I will learn to give it all to Him, to stop wasting my energy worrying about everything, and focus all that on trusting and seeking after God with each new day He gives me.



By the way...this was obviously brought on by something I was foolishly worrying about, and can I just say... "And we know that in all things God works for the good of those who love Him, who have been called according to his purpose." Romans 8:28

oh, i just love you! it's like i read other peolpe's blogs before i write my own, (yours for instance) and u always say that same things that i feel like writing about!! i'm so lucky to have u as a friend! i always try to remember those first verses when i'm overacting and worrying about something. the last verse u wrote reminds me that even when we sin, and ask for forgiveness, he will still bless us. that blows my mind...yay! anyways, i haven't talked to u in forever!! i know that u have been working, but let me know one day when u don't have to work or if u get to go in late, and we'll do something...Love u lots!!

Worrying is a sin... isn't that cool! Think about it. . . man *shakes me head in utter amazement!* I could read those verses every single day and they would speak to me every time!
