GOD cares

I just bought a new 2010 Calendar and I was excited to take the paper off. It's a pretty passionate purple with the word Joy on the cover. Each month has a message of promise and faith. Here's a sneak peak at January....

To worry is human. We worry about job security. We worry about unexpected expenses. We worry when our children ride their bikes around the block for the first time. Worry is a normal and natural part of life. But too much worry can distract and paralyze us - and can even lead to a sinful denial of God's presence and grace in our lives. Scripture teaches that we find rest from inappropriate worry when we admit we can't control the future and entrust ourselves - and our loved ones - to the God who does.

"I will be your GOD throughout your lifetime - until your hair is white with age. I made you, and I will care for you."

I like to think I'm making progress when it comes to my worrying. Try to keep it to a minimum you know.

The Lord is there for me. I need to realize that when I worry needlessly. Nothing like a good prayer to calm the worries.

I think i'll be working on this aspect of myself for a long time. In my heart I know that the Lord is there for me. Now only if my mind would stop worrying...

Our church has a motto that goes "things are looking so bad, I wonder what God will make of it?" knowing that God can work good out of any situation. I try to remember that when I'm most fraught with worry.

I always try my best to cast my cares on the one who continually cares for me.

like your new profile pic in front of the Christmas tree!
Sometimes we think it won't happen, or it will "help" when we worry - that is speaking in human terms:)

I need a dose of you everyday. Thanks lady, again. I was reminded of this very thing just last week while facing a dilemna...but i let it go, and i let GOD, and my prayers were answered, and i had peace.

I still worry sometimes, but the Spirit is always there to remind me of God's faithfulness and the the worry melts away, like ice on a hot day.

I use to be the queen of worry, that's why I color my hair every 3 weeks. The gray is so stubborn (LOL)

Now I make an effort to write down my worrries and ask, what's the worst that can happen? The Lord will still be there if the worst happens. He cares for us like nobody else!

Love and peace and hugz!
