It’s amazing the things you get used to. The things that become so “integral” to your life that we feel naked without it. Like my activity tracker. I’ve had several versions and brands over the years and truly my wrist feels naked without it. Most of us don’t go anywhere without our phones. Though lately I will quicker choose my journal over the phone. Which shows that despite what we have gotten used to, we still have the ability to change and adapt. If only we were willing to.
TODAY’S THANKFUL TALLY
- A friend, well technically two friends since I am friends with both, got engaged!! One confession though: hearing young people (by definition, people fifteen years younger than me), getting married making me feel old. Lol.
- Exercised! Went walking, even did squats and jumping jacks.
- And someone actually read what I wrote on Medium. Shook!
- The Book of Job. The Chapters 1 to 8.
Today, I want to say thank you. Thank you for your provision. A thought: we often say “don’t worry, God’s got it in control,” but does that truly mean that we will never think about an issue? I’m wondering because sometimes, the things that concern me, that I have no clue how they would work out, would come into my thoughts and I would quickly dash the thoughts away because I’m not supposed to worry. But now I’m seriously wondering: is thinking about something worrying?
Worry: State of being anxious or troubled over actual or perceived problems.
Think: Direct one’s mind towards someone or something. Use one’s mind actively to form connected ideas.
The thing is, part of me feels that turning it over to Yahweh means never thinking about it. Especially since in the church you often hear comments such as, “How many times do we lay our burdens at Jesus’ feet and just pick them back up again? We need to leave it at his feet.” I think the problem I’m having now is what does that truly look like? And I’ll check into this some more Biblically that is. For now, I’ll lay it at his feet and go to sleep.
Good night Yahweh. Thank you for today. I love you.
