What worrying really means to a Christian

As a Christian, you learn thru teachings and experience that life here on earth is but a temporary destination and that this is not our true home.  If that is true (which i believe), then why do Christian’s worry so much?  Doesn’t worrying imply that you do not trust what you know to be true?  Francis Chan says it best…

This is something i am currently battling with.  Why do i worry?  Why am i scared?  I know that lord has something planned for me this week and I am excited to see what will unfold.  Again, Why am i so scared of the future?  

The Holy Spirit Spoke to ME!

First of all, I pray that you all had a wonderful thanksgiving.  Mine was filled with family, fun, laughter, and of course food!  During the past week, I was blessed to witness my youngest have her 7th birthday (thanksgiving child) and also my cousin’s (brother) 39th birthday.  The tree is up at the house, the elf is running around making my kids laugh and Christmas shopping has begun.

Last night as i was laying down, I had a sudden panic attack about the upcoming week and the uncertainty of what the future holds.  It was something that kept me up for a good hour.  I tried to think about the Lord and that he has everything under control but I was still thinking about everything.  Suddenly, as if a light switch was just turned on, I felt this calm run thru my body and i suddenly got excited.  My mind was filled with the thought that the Lord will show himself this week.

This morning, I noticed a lot more hits on the site today.  I had a wonderful morning meeting at work. I am getting the ball rolling on various projects and now I come across a saying that just fills my spirit with joy.


My worries stem from what i am currently doing.   I love what i am doing but at the same time, I always have these thoughts in the back of my mind if what i am doing is right, worth it, or even really beneficial to my family.  There are opportunities out there that i can take that would have my family in a much better position but every time I entertain even the thought of changing where i am, the Lord places an event that I can only experience here.

It all comes down to this…I love what I am doing but i am making sacrifices to stay here.  I can go somewhere else and be more stable (in the earthly sense) but will i still have the opportunity to say “I LOVE WHAT I AM DOING”?

I am excited to see what the Lord presents this week.  Thats one thing about our father…there is never a dull moment.  God bless you and all you cherish.

A letter to the Lord at 4:21 am

Dear Lord,

I will not let being anxious and nervous take away from the joy of my future. I will not let doubt ruin what you have given me. I keep my eyes focus on you lord and the more I begin to doubt, the more I focus my eyes on you.

Just a little prayer that I said as I woke up in the middle of the night dreading about a meeting that will be taking place. My lord controls all!

I’m holding on Lord for the bumpy ride ahead

They say that the Lord works in mysterious ways. I would like to add that the Lord adds amusement in his ways. On Saturday, I had one of the most frustrating days in a long time. I was down, distraught, and confused. I started to question what I thought was my blessing and shouted at the top of my lungs “save me lord!”  Suddenly, an opportunity presented itself and I quickly jumped at it. I was happy, I was excited and I thanked the lord for being able to look forward to something again. 

Then something weird happened…the cause of the pain and frustration suddenly became a source of inspiration. I am sacrificing but again I felt like this is where I am suppose to be. But, what do I do now? I am happy where I am but what do I do now for the new doors that will be opening? Now all I can do is keep my eyes fixated on the lord above and hold on for what will be an exciting ride.
