It was a busy day today. I think I slept later than I should have and stayed up too late the night before. I remember the husband telling me - "OK, I'm leaving now." and thinking I should get up. That didn't happen.
When I did manage to roll out of bed I started my day off with a thought - well, to be honest with a worry. Isn't that odd that I did that ? Not really, most days I start off with a worry. What if ? The what if is usually followed with a plan of how "I" can do something about it. Really ? Believe it or not - today is the first time I've ever even noticed that I do that. Today. I've been doing this for quite some time now - maybe even years. Oh my. I'm surprised God has tolerated this from me for this long.
God has been working on worry with me for some time now. I wish I was better with it and I can't imagine what I must of been like in the past.
And we know that all things work together for good to those who love God, to those who are the called according to His purpose. (Romans 8:28 NKJV)
I know in my head that worry does nothing. That all of my worry does absolutely nothing to change the outcome of things. My heart just doesn't seem to get it. If it did then my life would reflect that - now wouldn't it ? I go back to this scripture and realize God is telling me - no matter what the circumstances are, what the hurt or pain is that I feel, what the mess is that I have made - that all these things will work out for the best. His best.
My plan for tomorrow is to wake up, roll out of bed, and start my day with a thankful thought. For every worried thought that crosses my gray matter I will replace it with a thought of thankfulness and praise. I have a feeling it's going to be quite the journey - I'll keep you updated on how it turns out !
