Well with 2 weeks to go and $270 left to raise... I am getting there. But it is not without its fair share of distractions and obstacles. Between recovering from my surgery, struggling to hit any kind of sales numbers in this drought of an economy, finishing up my graduate school paper, and getting home for Thanksgiving, I think He is testing me. :-)
I can make it though! You know what... I am doing everything I can, the rest is up to Him. Yep, thats right. For those of you who don't get the opportunity to go to my church that was our pastors message last week. "Why Worry?" Those who can look in your Bible he is talking about the message in Matthew 6:25-34. Basically translated into... "Hey! These times are tough... we WORRY a lot because of the economy, we are trying to get THAT job, or into the SCHOOL, trying to STAY healthy, or save a relationship, or finish a paper, I could go on and on for all of us... but basically all you can do is give it all you got (the things you worry about). Do whatever YOU can and after that release it all to God up there. Thats all you can do. He cares about you and He cares about me. He will take care of us... its been promised to us!!!" We just need to surrender our worries to Him... WOW! I always heard of SURRENDERING to Jesus... I never thought I could, I guess I never really understood what it meant? See what I thought was that was for the really "Holy" people... the "Jesus Freaks." :-) Well I think most of you would consider me a Jesus Freak right now and... well... I have never felt more empowered in my whole life... call me what you want... but just TRY IT! For one week... everything you worry about... just talk to Him... give it to Him... he can NEVER have enough on His plate. Your days will change and your thoughts and your worries will slowly be relieved.
It may be hard for some of you to pray... I am still learning. It is definitely the hardest part of this relationship with God. I talk to Him like he is my best friend... haha! Which I guess is exactly what He wants... the point is, my thoughts are ALL OVER the place and probably make no sense to anyone else... they barely do to me, but he hears EVERY word we say to Him and he wants to help. Just make the move. I DARE YOU!
Thanks for all your support and prayers. YOU ARE IN MINE! Now... back to that Grad school paper! :-)
PS If you want to hear more about "Why Worry" you can listen to it online. Please don't feel like you have to... It has just spoke a lot to me this week. MOM!!! This is a good one for you! :-) Kidding, kidding! http://www.buckheadchurch.org/messages.
