Worry.

Hi blog world... it's been a while. Between showers, moving, wedding crafting, and just life, I now have about 5 posts waiting to be written... but this one just couldn't wait.

With 16 days left until our big day, the list of to-do's is constantly growing, the anxious feeling is continuing to grow and little worries are starting to creep in... is it going to be insanely hot? Will it rain? Is the cake going to taste like I remember? Will our guests have as much fun as we hope they do?

This morning when I checked my "Jesus Calling" app, the words didn't sink in until after a conversation Travis and I had this afternoon. Funny how that always happens. The words were such a profound reminder that I had to share... hoping you find comfort or assurance in God's promise.

God's presence is with us a promise... many things can block that awareness, but the major culprit is worry. We as God's children tend to accept worry as an inescapable fact of life. However, worry is a form of unbelief. Who is in charge of our life? If it is us, then we have reason to worry. But if it is God, then worry is both unnecessary and unproductive. When we start to feel anxious about something, we need to relinquish the situation to God. We need to back off and redirect our focus to Him. He will either take care of our problems or show us how to handle them. In this world, we will have problems, but we need not lose sight of Him.
