I know that God is the One that made me and I know He is the One that is sovereign over everything... so I am wondering... maybe in His mind a 48 year old should be perfectly fine with the ups and downs and all the excitement, and the heartache... this day has been one of those days... my head is spinning...
feeling discouraged, not able to help like we would like to... then excited for a new client referred by "our" Social worker... beautiful donations received... encouragement from others that have a heart for those in need... overwhelmed by the difficulties some of our clients are facing day in and day out...
there has to be something He wants us to see..... I think this is what the lesson is:
“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 than food, and the body more than clothes? 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? Can any one of you by worrying add a single hour to your life[e]?“And why do you worry about clothes? See how the flowers of the field grow. They do not labor or spin. Yet I tell you that not even Solomon in all his splendor was dressed like one of these. 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—you of little faith? So do not worry, saying, ‘What shall we eat?’ or ‘What shall we drink?’ or ‘What shall we wear?’ For the pagans run after all these things, and your heavenly Father knows that you need them. But seek first his kingdom and his righteousness, and all these things will be given to you as well. Therefore do not worry about tomorrow, for tomorrow will worry about itself. Each day has enough trouble of its own.... ( Matthew 26-34 )
ha... blunt..but true... fixing my eyes on the mountain mover rather than on the mountain... celebrating the "successes" rather than being discouraged by what we can't change... trusting Him rather than worrying and leaving the burdens in His capable hands rather than carrying them on our shoulders..
sounds like a good plan..
He is the Director of Hope for Life... I just said, "sure, use me" when He called me...
phew... that is a relief... thankful for Him and trusting Him enough to obey.. I will NOT worry...
