Over The Hill

This is basically how I was feeling today. I look ahead and worry about what's to come in the future, if everything will work out just so. Because of course I have this picture in my head of how life is supposed to go. *Sigh* First problem right there... Obviously there's no way to know what's down the road, I need to watch what's in front of me. It's something I go through over and over again. Don't know when I'll learn. I get so antsy over things that "might" be. The things I can't change about the future and the worries I have, I can pray about them and give them to God. Matthew 14:31 "You of little faith, why did you doubt?' This verse never ceases to astound me. I love it so much! It's so simply. So childlike. Quite honestly when put like that, how much better is life when it's in God's hands. Why do I doubt God's ability to take care of me, as if I could do any better? So silly :)

Just Trust Me

Nothing too creative today, but something that is important. This is my wall chalk board. It's become the place I write down all my random thoughts and verses that hit me in the brain. Amidst all the thoughts I think in a day, today I thought some worrisome ones that really had no business being there. My initial reaction to things I worry about, is how I can fix this. Then I start staring because I'm so lost in my thoughts about the future. When I finally told myself to stop it, this is ridiculous (because I could not come up with a logic answer to my worries), the last part of this verse came to my mind..."lean not on your own understanding." Maybe there isn't a way for me to fix it in my understanding, but God can. And, he tells me to trust. That was enough to make all my worries go away. The Lord will provide, I need not worry about "silly" things. =)
