I’m a worrier.
That’s one of the many things I wish I could change about myself. I worry about what people think of me, financial debt, and my most favorite: what I’m doing with my life! It seems to never end sometimes and that’s why I call what I worry about ‘the tapes’. If I’m not careful and the enemy gets ahold me…these tapes can play over in my head ALL DAY. Side-note: I recently learned that researchers have proven that if we think of anything in depth for five minutes…then we have gone through all the possible choices, and it is useless to keep thinking about whatever it is that’s going through our head. WHAAAAAT? (Next time you are overwhelmed with negative thoughts this is a good reminder; trust me!)
Part of why I am discussing this today is because it ties in with my WorldRace trip in October. The biggest thing I have been worrying about recently is the funds that are needed to go on this trip. Today has been a good reminder that the enemy is not going to win and the Lord truly does provide. Why? Let me share the good news with you-I got two letters in the mail with donations for my trip and it couldn’t have come at a better time. For me, it was a reminder that the Lord’s timing is always right and it gave my faith a boost of confidence.
I’ll keep it short today but I just wanted to share with you the joy I am experiencing right now. If what happened today isn’t the Lord telling me that this is His plan for me, then I don’t know what is. For me…today’s donations are the Lord telling me that this trip is His will. I am elated and now know that there’s no more justifying why I am worrying because today the Lord answered ‘yes’.
