Jeremiah 29:11

"For I know the plans I have for you," declares the Lord. "plans to prosper you and not harm you, plans to give you hope and a future."

March 15, 2011

Half way through March. Next month will mark one year since I began this blog. It was a year ago in April that I attended my Emmaus walk. It was a year ago I truly became a Christian. It has also been a year with many ups and downs, of which I have made it through with the help of a loving husband and my faith in the Lord. It's not always easy to turn all your concerns over to God, but it truly is the only way to make it through. This reminds me of the Bible verse in Matthew:

Therefore do not worry about tomorrow, for tomorrow will worry about itself. Each day has enough trouble of its own. Matthew 6:34

I am someone who has always worried about tomorrow. For me, the phrase, "What if" used to be a constant of mine. What if this, or what if that. While I'm better then I used to be concerning "worry", I am still struggle with it. I have found myself turning more to the Bible and to prayer when I have gotten worried about something and it has helped. I also have gotten better about turning to friends and family for support. Instead of holding it all inside, I let it out. Whether talking to a friend, or talking to God.

So...don't worry about tomorrow. Just deal with today! The Bible passage is so true, today has enough problems of it's own. Why create more stress in worrying about tomorrow.
