I am the type that worries about things that I cannot control. I have a stong faith. I love the Lord. But the human side of me thinks too much. The other side of that is the fact that I lost my my mom (she was 48) to cancer in 1999. So my mind searches thru an entire list of "what if's" more often than it should. I am taking an intentional attitude towards this little defect in my personality. I am going to live my life thinking about living! If I am given another day, live it to the fullest. I know that sounds cliche, but it is true.
When worry starts to creep into my deepest thoughts, I look at it this way. Get on my knees and give it to God. He created me. He understands why my mind works this way. I am going to use this "worry" to draw closer to Him. He holds it all in His hands. He knows the plans that He has for me and they are better than anything that I can dream of...

I am so excited! Welcome to bloggy land, my friend! I spend a lot of time here...
ReplyDeleteI understand about the worrisome thoughts. Still working on that, and probably will be all my life. But on the knees is the best place to start handling it.
I love your picture, pretty lady!
You and I have talked about this many times. Worry is hard to give to God, even when we know that is exactly what we are suppossed to do! Why is it that for generations now that seems to be a common denominator for all Moms?- worry!I guess that's why God gave us friends, to tell us all is going to be okay and renew our faith when ours is low, as you have done for me before! I guess now I am gonna have to start a blog too eh? Confessions of a lunatic subsitute teacher! HAHA Love ya Leslie
