This & That


Most mornings while sitting down for breakfast, my mind clicks through the things that lie ahead of me for that particular day. The things I have to get done, the things that could go wrong, the things I really don't want to do, but do anyway. Then my mind starts to wonder and worry about things like, am I gonna have enough money to pay this bill, or that truck repair, or the rent for this month. In the end worrying seems silly though doesn't it. Because after all is said and done, each of those things I worried about, God took care of. Sometimes I find myself getting so caught up in trying to schedule this and make sure theres going to be enough people at that, and not to mention my high expectations for things in general. But isn't that how most of us are? We get so caught up in ourselves, that we loose sight of the one were doing it all for. God. Where is he in all this. I personally believe if I spent just as much time praying as I do trying to overwhelm myself with this, that, and the other thing, It would be a whole lot easier for God to be a part of those plans. So I challenge myself and others to simply pray. God wants to spend time with us, he wants to build up an intimate relationship with us. But most importantly he doesn't want to be a part of our plans. He wants to be a part of His plans he has for us. Pray and ask God what he will have you do today to be a part of them.
