Getting away

It's crazy sometimes how television shows can give you such a great insight to your life. Tonight I was watching One Tree Hill and one of the lines was " it was good to get away and get a different perspective on life." It made me realize how true that statement is in my life. So many things seemed so crazy when I was home ( in ga ) but now that I have spent a few weeks in Ohio with my family, I realize what really is the most important. Some of the things that were bothering me are still there but I recognize how to not put them at the top of the list of worries. Most of all I have come to worry less and trust God more which I think in itself is a huge accomplishment. A friend shared these words with me tonight. They are from a book called Jesus Calling and they really spoke to me and the place that I am in life right now. I hope they speak to you as well.

"Trust Me enough to let things happen without striving to predict or control them. Relax, and refresh yourself in the Light of My everlasting Love...when you project yourself into the future, rehearsing what you will do or say, you are seeking to be self-sufficient: to be adequate without My help. This is a subtle sin- so common that it usually slips by unnoticed.

The alternative is to live fully in the present, depending on Me each moment. Rather than fearing your inadequacy, rejoice in My abundant supply. Train your mind to seek My help continually, even when you feel competent to handle something by yourself... learn to rely on Me in every situation. This discipline will enable you to enjoy life more and to face each day confidently"
