Worry

Ok, ok, can we just stop it already?  What exactly is the point of worrying about ANYTHING?  Either decide to DO something about it or let it go.  I honestly think another word for worry is paralyzed.  That is pretty much what happens when you wring your hands and let your mind go places it shouldn't.  Your space, your life, is what you make it.  You can either let the media and politics dictate how your day will go or take control of your life and live it.  Yes we may have to work a bit harder in the near future - I think we need that.  Our country has turned into a society that simply expects entitlement.  Hard work creates people of character.  Laziness creates people of greed and people who lack morals.  Yes we might need to buckle down and eat beans and rice for awhile......I have some great recipes for them if you would like.   Maybe we should grow our own vegetables  and spend more time outside taking care of our earth instead of being entertained by movie stars in a dark theater.  Maybe, just maybe, we should lend a helping hand.  Maybe ask around for a friend who needs a job or spend time with someone who is really down in the dumps.   Maybe we should all get out there and exercise - our bodies and our minds - and turn the flippin' news off and recycle the newspaper.  I know it seems like I am hiding from reality but the truth is I am creating my reality - I choose the information that goes in.  Feel free to keep your feet up and watch what is happening around you and go to bed fearful of what tomorrow brings - or maybe you can take one minute at a time and change your entire world by just taking a breath and looking out the window to see your world.

The Journey Continues ~

Give all your worries and cares to God, for he cares about what happens to you. 1 Peter 5:7

"So I tell you, don't worry about everyday life - Matthew 6:25

The Lord is good. When trouble comes, he is a strong refuge. And he knows everyone who trusts in him. Nahum 1:7

God is our refuge and strength,
always ready to help in times of trouble. Psalm 46:1

God will be there with you when the future happens. In the meantime, enjoy the present!

i really appreciated what you said about worry equaling paralysis and i think that is so true. worry keeps us spinning our wheels and keeps us from doing productive, useful things.

i'm looking forward to your garden veggies! you realize, you need to plant a veggie garden now,right? :)
