Matthew 6:33



Matthew 6:33

"Give your entire attention to what God is doing right now, and don't get worked up about what may or may not happen tomorrow. God will help you deal with whatever hard things come up when the time comes."

(scripture is from THE MESSAGE version in the bible)

This is my focus today. I am SO bad about thinking ahead, because I am a planner, and getting worked up before things even happen. Over the last 3 months I have learned that things have to change around here when it comes to certain areas. I can't do as much as I could before and that is just ok. I can't plan too far ahead because with sickness and everything else I don't even know what tomorrow will bring. Instead of being frustrated with this realization, I am embracing it and just dealing with one thing at a time.....one day at a time. I am learning that it's ok to make plans, but also understand that they may change. 

And most importantly, I am learning that it is not worth my energy to worry about things that have not even happened yet whether they are silly or a big deal. I know that if I give my attention to God then things will fall into place as they are supposed to and me worrying is just a waste of time! 

Good verse, good thing to focus on and that is where my head is at today. Just thought I would share that translation of the verse because it is so very practical. 

Last night we took this picture. It just might be one of the first times we have all dressed up to go out to eat since Audree was born....it only took 3 months haha. And we had a fun time! 

I know Brandon is starting to feel out-numbered around this house BUT I think he looks pretty sweet surrounded by all these girlies!!!
