So I am sitting here in the DC airport waiting on some AIM peeps to get here so we can get this launch thing rolling. I see people coming and going. I wonder where they are going and what they do with their lives. I wonder about if they have any worries. If they worry about that day or the next. Then I think about my life. I have been in 3 airports in 3 hours. I will be in Kenya in one week. I mean when I think about that and even say it out loud to random people when we spark up a random conversation, that sounds legit. I love my life. I got to spend the weekend with some amazing people. Hiking some of Colorado’s gorgeous mountains. We also got to see the damage that some beetles are doing to the trees. We then find ourselves in talks about why this is happening. I mention that I think it could be that God wants us to see that we can’t take things for granted. That he can take things away because he can. We must live life to the fullest and even thank him for things we don’t get to enjoy. Robby Riggs said maybe he is taking them away for there is something to find in the rocks…. Some good stuff there if you choose to think about it. 

All that to say that I find myself worrying about things that I have no reason why I am. Why should I worry if I am going to be all I need to be for Y squad…or the nations….or my future wife? Hasn’t God paved this path for me and I am working on following his word even more than before? Why should I waste ANY time on those things? They are simply attacks from the enemy to make me questions my identity and authority God has given me. I was sitting here watching the baggage carousel and I simply give those things to God. I ask him to take the worries that sometimes creep into my head and smash them up against the wall for they are worthless. I KNOW I am who God is calling me to be. I KNOW that I am a SON of the Almighty!  I will NOT let feeble attempts to lie to me, take me off course or distract me. I am confident in who I am. Not cocky. Confident. 
God you can have me. You can have it all. My worries. My struggles. My love. My praise. My doubts. My fears. I know that I am who I am because of you. I love you. 

Matthew 6:25-27

New King James Version (NKJV)

 

Do Not Worry

   
25 “Therefore I say to you, do not worry about your life, what you will eat or what you will drink; nor about your body, what you will put on. Is not life more than food and the body more than clothing? 26 Look at the birds of the air, for they neither sow nor reap nor gather into barns; yet your heavenly Father feeds them. Are you not of more value than they? 27 Which of you by worrying can add one cubit to his stature? 

And I leave you with an amazing song that a very close person to me showed me. Love you ALL!! Thank you for all your prayers and love. I wouldn’t be here without each and every one of you.
