I am blessed. I am blessed with a wonderful supportive family. I am blessed with wonderful supportive friends. And I have been extremely blessed with the opportunity to travel the world over the past few years.
This week I had a friend visiting me here in Morocco. I was able to show him around Morocco a bit. Showing him around Morocco has really reminded me of what a beautiful country I live in and how blessed I have been to spend the past three years here traveling and working. We live in such a beautiful world!
I have been a bit stressed lately with teaching and fundraising and just keeping up with everything while having a visitor. But God has a way of showing up and reminding you that there is no reason to sweat the small things. In bible study this week we have been studying Philippians 4. During bible study we read the passage all about not worrying about anything and praying about everything, whether that be the things we need or thankful prayers. I felt as if God was speaking right to me. It is like He was looking me straight in the face and saying, “Emily, stop your worrying and stressing and just rely on me.”
So I gave it all up! Because I am blessed with many things and there is no point in worrying about things that we cannot change. Pray about it all instead. God is for us! So rely on Him. Stop stressing and worrying about all the little things and enjoy everything!
But that is not all I have been blessed with. I have been extremely blessed with everyone who has been supporting me along this journey. I cannot even express how thankful I am for all of you and all of your support. I would not be where I am without all of you! So thank you!
I want you all to remember that we are blessed with many things in our lives. So don’t worry about the small things and pray about everything!
Philippians 4:6-7
Don’t worry about anything, instead pray about everything. Tell God what you need , and thank him for all He has done.
