• good morning
  things have been so good lately…somewhat confusing, but good. i’ve found myself worrying lately though, which isn’t really a good thing. worrying about decisions to make, about the future and where my life is headed. but also worrying about the smallest of things. things that you would probably think are ridiculous! the other day i was reading in matthew with a friend. we were reading matthew 6, where it talks about not worrying because He cares for us. in my bible i had written on the edge of the page “worry= sin/ worry= no faith.” it seems like such a  simple concept but could that really be true? that my worrying is actually sin? it’s as if God has given me direction, yet i’ve been questioning Him and His ways. why? why worry about tomorrow, when today is today…

  “fussing always ends in sin. we imagine that a little anxiety and worry are an indication of how really wise we are; it is much more an indication of how really wicked we are. fretting springs from a determination to get our own way. our Lord never worried and He was never anxious, because He was not “out” to realize His own ideas; He was “out” to realize God’s ideas. fretting is sinful if you are a child of God…” o. chambers

  so good. and so true…

  much love..
