For the past month I’ve been really stressing a lot and worrying over things. I’ve been worrying about my friends, about my family‘s approval of the trip, fundraising, school, work, grade, etc. But my friend Megan and I went kayaking last Wednesday and as we were there I was looking around and saw the birds. The birds just sat there on the water or in the trees and relaxed. It made me think of Matthew 6:26-27 it says “Look at the birds of the air; they do not sow or reap or store away in barns, and yet your heavenly Father feeds them. Are you not much more valuable than they? Can any one of you by worrying add a single hour to your life?” It really made me take a step back and realize that I am much more valuable than the birds because God made me and his image and why would I be stressing over things and worrying if it’s in gods plan for me. If it’s in god’s plan he will always provide it might not be the way I was thinking it might not be easy but he won’t let me down. It really just makes it take a step back and realize that you have a father that’s so much better than you are, so much greater, and so much more powerful that if you just trust him great things will come.
