| "escalators do not have teeth like alligators, but..." |
| 09.25.07 (8:57 am) [edit] |
... breathes a deep sigh of relief. What had been bothering me? I was analyzing certain aspects of my life to death. Being paranoid and declaring, "crap!" too many times. and this was all about what may not even happen- not something that actually has! If there's a time to not freak out about something, it is when there is no basis or sound evidence that the feared will happen. So I don't know what caused my change in perspective, but I was contemplating this morning, and thought, "Don't stress about it- it's in God's hands." I have a tendency to try to manage things on my own, even things way not in my territory (like how others react to me). That's ridiculous! These are adults involved! As long as I'm not doing something completely misleading, I should not be so concerned over what's to come or what someone will do or think. I'll try to take it as it comes (Lord, give me strength). Believe me, the pressure is off & it feels great!

I've just read something like this before.
"If you can't walk because there's a big mountain in front of you, don't try to move the mountain, move yourself"
I like that :)

The vast majority of things we worry about...never happen, and when and if they happen, they are never as bad as we imagined them!! So just try and accept whatever comes, as God's will for you for that day...as for tomorrow? God will have to take care of that!
