See ya, worry!
It's a true gift to not have to worry. Storms will come and when they do, worry will knock on our doors, but as a follower of Jesus, I'm learning to deflect it to God, hot-potatoe style. Jesus was not a stressball. I'm sure He never refused to leave the house until every pillow was in the right spot on the couch. Or replayed his convo with His boss 25 times trying to decide if He left a good impression. Or lost it when His computer crashed and He lost half his thesis paper. In fact, when crappy, even near-death things happened to Jesus, He kept His cool (Matt 8:23-27, John 18:1-11). And it wasn't some fakey beauty-pageant smile, but the fruit of a heart resolved. So instead of letting worry in and making it some tea, I'm saying, "See ya!"and giving it a swift kick in the tush on the way out.

Thanks :)
So true. I read something recently that said something like "Jesus had only 32 short years on this Earth...and he had a LOT to do. But do you think he was rushing around frantically trying to get it done?" That really made me think.
Ah! This is exactly the verse I needed!

I feel like in my life right now theres not a whole lot that I should be worrying about...that doesn't stop me though! haha... And when those tough times come up I always freak out. I feel like it's easier said than done to lean on God during those hard times. I working on it though!

Hi Lindsey,
Thanks so much for that reminder. It's something that I have had a problem with in the past, but like you I'm constantly giving it to Jesus and saying "farewell" to worry. :-)
Bless you,
