i hadn't been feeling particularly chipper this morning. more like panicked and anxious because i would be in charge of the office today. it's a first for me, being in charge. i had never thought of myself as a leader before. i would rather hand over the reins to somebody else. not to avoid the responsibility or accountability (because it is not hard for me to accept those), but well, i just felt uncomfortable being in the spotlight, of sorts. i am also still rather worried of all the other things i have going on (see previous posts). anyway, thanks to meg and her bible, i am reminded once again why i do not need to worry about anything at all. Do Not Worry25"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? 26 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?27 Who of you by worrying can add a single hour to his life? 28 And why do you worry about clothes? See how the lilies of the field grow. They do not labor or spin. 29 Yet I tell you that not even Solomon in all his splendor was dressed like one of these.30 If that is how God clothes the grass of the field, which is here today and tomorrow is thrown into the fire, will he not much more clothe you, O you of little faith? 31 So do not worry, saying, 'What shall we eat?' or 'What shall we drink?' or 'What shall we wear?' 32 For the pagans run after all these things, and your heavenly Father knows that you need them. there was never an instance in my life that he has abandoned or forsaken me. i cannot remember even one moment in my life when i felt that he has not given or blessed me. when joks and i needed something, miraculously, it would be there. he answers our prayers, he listens to our pleas. and yet, because i have so very little faith, i worry. i have to be content with his promise. i have to keep in mind that he will be here for me always. i have no reason to doubt. none at all.
