And Then I See This....

After feeling sorry for myself and putting myself into the Pity Party mode, I see this on FB (which I wasn't planning to look at but did anyway----see?)


From Proverbs 31:


Are you a chronic worrier? Many of us are, especially right now. Our worry is futile. We can’t change a situation. The best we can do is lay our troubles and concerns at Jesus’ feet and let Him handle them.
Resist picking up those worries you laid down. They’re not yours to carry or fix. They’re His.
What can you leave at His feet today?

This is me all over! 

Chronic worrier?  That's me.

Why can I not just turn everything over to God and let HIM handle it?  My worry IS futile.  I can't change the situation.  I know I can't.  I can't stop the virus from spreading where it is.  I can't stop people from protesting, acting stupid, saying hateful things.

I can't  control how others think, what they do, how they act.  I can't control their posts on FB. I can't control their reactions to what is happening.

All I can do is trust God.  I can pray.  I can turn it all over to Him and let HIM handle it all.

He know what will happen  a month from now already, and my worrying won't change a thing.

Lay down my worries and do it now.

I can't carry the load.  I can't fix anything.  

All I can do is what I need to do to protect myself and my family.

I need to carry on the best I can and BE POSITIVE instead of being the Negative Nellie that I have been.

Time to snap out of it, Beth.

Now.
