I'm not really sure where to begin, these past few weeks have been very trying. I and my two boys have been sick with a cold and trying to get rid of it. With the weather constantly changing and sitting out in the weather for baseball games - that's not an easy task. My husband, David turned 40 on the 5th of October, we celebrated his birthday this past weekend with some friends by going out to eat in Auburn and shopping. Sometimes it's just nice to get out of the area and go somewhere new even if it's not very far away.
Next, I have been very torn about working part-time to bring in some extra money (that we could really use), but I don't want to have to ask the grandmother's to keep Easton and I don't want to have to pay to send him somewhere (that would kind of defeat the purpose of working PT). I know God wants us to be anxious about nothing, but in everything pray. Today's devotion hit home with me about that. "While life's difficulties may make it hard to practice genuine faith in God, those are exactly the times when He expects us to obey such instructions." "If you are fearful of your circumstances today, overwhelmed with anxious thoughts and concerns, choose instead to trust God. He will bless your obedience and use you to encourage others around you who are struggling as well." "Father today I choose to remember how You have been faithful to me, and I choose not to worry."
I am ashamed to say that I am a worrier, it's inherited. I don't want to be and I try not to be. I worry about my children, my appearance (mainly weight), our finances, our future. I know that I need to be faithful in my prayer life and turn it all over to God and he will lead me to find answers and peace. I don't know how anyone makes it thru the day without knowing God.
