living stress free

Worry is stupid.

Seriously, there’s no greater waste of time than to worry. It’s taken me 25 years to grasp this simple truth…

Today I faced a situation that could’ve taken the wind out of my sails, but I made a decision:

I chose to believe the Bible instead of all the negative junk.

This one choice made all the difference.

I’m still not sure how everything will play out, but I trust God.

He’s my provider.

He knows all my needs.

There are times my control freak, what’s-going -to-happen self fights for my attention.

But I continue taking my mind back to God’s Word. The more I stay in the Word, the less the little things throw me off.

Do not let your to-do list rob you of joy.

I’ve said this 50,000 times today while hyperventilating….

There is a list of small things that need to get done between now and my move.

There are also a lot of people who are more important than my to-do list.

I do not want to be so task oriented that I am not enjoying my time with friends and family.

So, I’m going to take several deep breaths and prioritize….and I won’t need a brown paper bag to do so.

I say all of this to encourage you to not be bullied by your to-do list.

Don’t allow anyone or anything to steal your joy.

Life is way too short for that kind of nonsense.
