~Psalm 25:4-5~

Show me Your ways, O Lord.
Teach me Your paths.
  Guide me in all Your truth and teach me.
For You are God my Savior and my hope is in You 
all day long.

Worried? Don't be


My mom said something today that struck home... she said that sometimes God lets small troubles happen so that we are prepared for the larger storms that are heading our way. It was this that saved my day! I'm not going to go into long, boring details, but the main thing is... something happened and it threw this fact- that I can not do everything perfectly on my own- right up into my face! I was heartbroken to have made a huge mistake, but I was gently reminded that everything would be okay and would work out. And nothing I could do would change what had already happened.

Remember that verse? The one about not worrying? Check out Matthew 6, the verse that stands out to me is verse 27; "Can any of you add a single day to his life by worrying?" The answer in case you are confused is No! We can't add a single day to our lives, a single inch to our height and we most definitely can not travel back in time and erase mistakes by worrying. So what good will it do us to worry? None.

I suppose what I am saying is that... I've decided not to worry. But learn my lessons, even the hard ones, and move on. After all, "tomorrow is always fresh with no mistakes in it... yet."
