hmm
Today has been an interesting one: I left work early today because I couldn't stand it. I came home, changed & ate & went to Tannehill. There I walked & thought & talked to God 'bout some stuff (always nice). Then I came home & cut grass (not pleasurable at all). Then I jumped in the pool for a bit......
I got out of the pool & sat on the back porch & contemplated. There have been a few things goin on that have been heavy on my mind lately. So I was sitting & thinking when all of the sudden it hit me: I'M WORRYING! Dang it! I've never been one to worry. I kinda took pride in the fact that I didn't worry as much as some of my family or friends do. I've always thought of myself as an eternal optimist. Have I been kidding myself all this time? Have I changed? Or is this just one instance which I need to turn around?
So, for a few situations in my life I have unwittingly allowed myself to worry. That's gotta change. I've gotta look at these situations with hope & be expectant of great things. I mean, God doesn't want me to worry: "Do not be anxious about anything, but in everything, by prayer and petition, with thanksgiving, present your requests to God. And the peace of God, which transcends all understanding, will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus." (Philip. 4:6-7).
I'm gonna make a concious effort to give these things to God, to accept his PEACE, to be positive. I promise. If you catch me worrying, just give me a swift kick in the pants. Peace
