Why worry?

Erika and I were talking on the phone while she was driving home from Virginia yesterday and we talked about something. It's something we all do (well most of us at least) and something that really does no good for any of us; worrying. The book of Matthew tells us "therefore, do not worry about tomorrow for tomorrow will worry about itself. each day has enough trouble of its own." I think i tend to overlook this verse too many times, but it is so simple and so true. The beginning of this semester, none of us knew what we were going to do. We could have ended up anywhere doing really anything. Only yesterday did God's plan completely unravel for everyone. Katy found a job! How exciting? It's crazy because we all spend so much time worrying/thinking about/questioning whether or not we are doing the right thing or what that right thing really is. Haven't we all made it this far though? We're all relatively normal, fully functioning, God-fearing women. Sure, we've all made mistakes, but by the grace of God we are who we are today. Of course I worried along the way, but did it help me at all? NO. I just felt really convicted to share this little bit. It's something that speaks to me!

Come to me all you who are weary and burdened, and I will give you rest. Take my yoke upon you and learn from me, for I am gentle and humble in heart, and you will find rest for your soul. For my yoke is easy and my burden is light.

Matthew 11:28-30
