Don't Worry, Be Happy

"Do not be anxious about anything, but in everything, by prayer and petition, with thanksgiving, present your requests to God."

I am a worrier. It's what I do. You here a crash in the other room and your first thought is what was that? I, on the other hand, have skipped the question and gone straight to the possibility that someone is breaking into the house, Rose got hurt (okay so maybe she is right next to me), a picture fell off the wall, zombies are attacking...you get the idea. I worry about my future, about my daughter's future. & when someone I love isn't worried about something I deem important, I worry enough for them too.

I don't know how I got this way either. But it's here and now, standing on the edge of a cliff I call Uncertainty, that I'm just so tired of worrying. It's exhausting. I feel like I am running in circles. There are so many unanswered questions in my life and I'm ready to just flip 'em the bird. Because worrying endlessly detracts from happiness, from enjoying the moment. I don't want to look back on these days and remember nothing but the anxieties I carried.

So here it goes, I'm giving it all up to God the things that unknowns that make me uncomfortable. I am going to believe that whichever path I take is the right one.

"Finally, brothers, whatever is true, whatever is noble, whatever is right, whatever is pure, whatever is lovely, whatever is admirable--if anything is excellent or praiseworthy--think about such things"
