Yesterday, a lady came in the shop for Velda to fax something to her son. She got to talking to John and asked for them to pray for her husband, he's having surgery next week for bladder cancer. It's the third time it's come back, and he's having to start chemo soon. Velda kept saying, I know you're worried about it, or I know it's a lot on you, and then she said "I don't worry. the Bible says not to...it's fruitless..it doesn't do anybody any good.
i 'll just let God handle it. He knows what's going to happen anyway."
I was like WOAH! man, did I need to hear that. I wish I had the same mindset. If you know me, you know I worry all the time. I get it from my Granny I guess. She worries herself sick about things. I'm the same way. I worry about everything! Most of the time, it's silly stuff too. Like, walking into a crowded room, and not having a seat. Or, meeting someone in a restaurant and not being able to find them. Or most of all, what people think about me. I have the worst confidence in the world, so I worry all the time what people think about me. It's horrible really. I wish I didn't worry as much, but it's something I'm working on!
"So do not worry about tomorrow; for tomorrow will care for itself. Each day has enough trouble of its own."
-Matthew 6:34 (NIV)
