Luke 12:22-23
"Therefore I tell you, do not be anxious about your life, what you will eat, nor about your body, what you will put on. For life is more than food, and the body more than clothing."
How many times do I worry about stuff? I worry about bills, i worry about sleep, (then i don't sleep) I worry a lot, i really need to stop all of the anxiousness, it does no good at all...
Right now what is heaviest on my mind is that i need to go to the doctor for what i think is carpel tunnel syndrome, my hands get numb, and start hurting so i can't complete small tasks like pealing potatoes, even now my hand is numb as i type this, it doesn't hurt but its getting there...
Luke 12: 25-26
"And which of you by being anxious can add a single hour to his span of life? If then you are not able to do as small a thing as that, why are you anxious about the rest?"
Worry does no good, i can't change the outcome at all, so i need to just accept the facts and move forward and actually call the Dr., giving it over to God in prayer is also something I haven't done.

I want to talk about fear. In the first few verses into Luke 12 it talks about fear. I am afraid. I am one of those people that struggles with fear a lot. Over this past year and a half, I've decided not to be afraid anymore, especially of things that I feel like God is leading me to do. Fear has stolen many things and experiences from my life and fear has been the reason I have acted in certain ways in the past. I realized a while ago that fear was ruling over my life, and I wasn't submitting my life to God, that I was submitting it to the fears that kept me from a lot of good things and made me make choices I wouldn't have otherwise made. The passage in Luke 12:6-7, "Are not five sparrows sold for two pennies? And not one of them is forgotten before God. Why even the hairs on your head are all numbered. Fear not; you are of more value than many sparrows." I feel like a lot of my actions because of fear have been because of my "in-dependency" (I think that is a word, haha). I have been independent in different ways for a long time, I've always felt like I had to have things under control, that if something went wrong, I had to find a way to fix it or make it work. I would be in charge of me, I would make it work. Sometimes we get so stressed out and so focused on making sure that WE are in control and make things right, that we serve a God who LOVES us and CARES for us and is always watching out for us. He cares for the sparrows, and even more so for us. Knowing and discovering more of this over the last year are so is so freeing. Knowing that God cares for me more than anything or anyone ever could even be possible of. Fear not, He is guiding us in paths of righteousness. :)
Here is a song I discovered recently.
