Worry

"Worry is like a rocking chair; it gives us something to do, but it won't get us anywhere"

I have to put this on my desk as a DAILY reminder that worrying does absolutely nothing but hurt us. It doesn't fix anything, it doesn't stop anything, heck - most of the time we worry about stuff that there is a 0.001 chance of happening!

I've learned to STOP worrying ALL day about what my fiancee is doing, where is he going, did he take care of this, did he do this, will he do this, I hope he doesn't do this.....

He is responsible for HIMSELF and I am responsible for MYSELF. Yes, he has BP. But yes he is still capable of making his own decisions, right or wrong. And he is going to do what he wants no matter how much I beg, plead, cry, threaten, etc. So all I can do is empower him, encourage him, and help him when he asks for my help.

Do I still worry? Yes, of course, that is human, but we have to take control of it or it will control us!

Worry gives a small thing a big shadow

Phillipians 4:6 - Do not be anxious about anything, but in everything, by prayer and petition, with thanksgiving, present your requests to God.

Worry is one thing I can gladly say God has taken off my hands.

this is a good thread and made me think

thanks, guys

I watch every tropical wave coming off of the coast of Africa from June to November...since I live in SE TEXAS 20 miles from coast this is a real thing. I guess if I lived in Kansas and worried about hurricanes it would be different...still what I do is try to prepare. It helps the worrying.
