That was a SHORT celebration...

... as I woke up this morning at 3am consumed with WORRY!! Same time just different verse. I got up and did a few things then went to the sofa to sleep. {I seem to get right back to sleep if I go in the living room, change of location?? I don't know I just know it usually works.} So I just lay there so I really just start praying.. God take this worry away from me. I can do nothing to change it so I just need to let it go. Please just give me a HUGE sign in the morning {see I was hopeful that I would go back to sleep}.

So alarm goes off... Of course I don't hear it until 30 minutes later, translation: WE ARE GOING TO BE LATE TO CHURCH, {not starting off too good in the sign department}, get snacks ready for SS. All are ready for church and out the door we go... 15 minutes late. {The SAD thing is we live literally 2 minutes from Church!} We drop off SS snacks and head to the front row {Now this is not punishment for me.. I rather like sitting on the front row} And this particular sermon.... TRUSTING GOD IN LIFE: LUKE 12:22-34

vs. 22 And He said to His disciples, "For this
reason I say to you, do not be ANXIOUS for your life
as to what you shall eat; nor for your body,
as to what you shall put on.
vs. 32 Do not be afaid, little flock, for your FATHER
has graciously chosen to give you the kingdom.
I didn't choose the Kingdom; HE chose me to be a part of HIS EVERLASTING KINGDOM. Like I read yesterday, why would he give me the ability to walk only to watch me fall. He has given me all the I need, that my family needs, that McDreamy needs. So STOP WITH THE WORRYING FOR THE LOVE OF PETE!!!
THANK YOU again FOR THE SIGN!! I'm not the sharpest crayon in the box these days!!
Happy Sunday, y'all!!

i have been dealing with the same thing..especially being pregnant and wondering how this new baby is going to change everything...but as i put in my blog, once i start worrying, there is nothing i can do but give it over to Him (and that is the reason why i think he allows me to worry, not to be consumed by it, but that i will have to be dependent on Him...b/c I know I can't do it by myself!!!)

WOW...talk about God! I downloaded a book today to listen to ....The Secret. It's about positive thinking...talks about how thoughts turn into feelings, etc...and can/do totally shape your day/life. I only listened for about 45 min and LOVE it thus far.

It's so true....says one small negative thought brings on more things like that until a snowball.. makes sense! Just putting it into practice is another thing!

Prayer friend!
