life, worry, Jesus.

hmm.. Life.. It's fall, we're halfway done with this semester, the Christmas musical I am directing is in 6 weeks (AHH!), working at Wallabies is fun. So that's just a little about my life. Some other things have been on my mind lately:

1) DON'T WORRY ABOUT ANYTHING; PRAY ABOUT EVERYTHING. Wednesday I was worn-out. Physically, spiritually and emotionally exhausted but I had no idea why. I felt like I was on a never-ending treadmill. Except for everything was running smoothly, class was fine, church was great, the kids were wonderful. So, why was I feeling like this. For once this semester, I decided to go to the Well and man am I glad I did. James preached on worry. Ding-ding, that is why I felt exhausted. I was worrying about everything: What if I make a C and loose my scholarship? What if I can't find a job when I graduate? What will I do whis summer? What if I don't get an internship next summer? Worry happens when we ask "What if?" and if we have already done everything we can, then what is the point of worry. If we have tried our hardest and given it 110% then stop worrying. If I have tried my hardest in a class on every paper, every test then I don't need to worry about my grade. Luke 21:14 basically tells us that we need to decide before hand not to worry. John 14:27 says Jesus leaves us his peace and last time I checked worry didn't equal peace.

2) WHATEVER YOU DO FOR THE LEAST OF THESE, YOU DO FOR ME (-Jesus). This weekend I had the oppurtunity to go to Atlanta with my Psych class. Besides being ans awesome class bonding experience, we got to hang out with homeless people. We were encouraged to call them 'friends' not homeless people so I will refer to them as friends from now on. One of the friends that I met with Jojo was this man named Clay. He had gone to seminary and just from a series of unfortunate events, he didn't have a home anymore. He was honestly one of the smartest men I have ever met. He knew the Bible backwards and forwards. The thing that confused me is, I thought I was supposed to go minister to them. True, but he ministered to me in ways I could have never expected. I have a different outlook on life now which I should have known all along. It is never about what you have, it is all about who you know and in this case, the WHO is JESUS. We have to know him for our lives to have any significance.

So those are two things that I have been thinking a lot about lately. This week has been crazy but it's almost over :) Weekend=great fun!
Love!
