spilled spaghettios.

I was at work today, and I could barely concentrate on the task ahead of me. For the past few months, I have been working full time as a preschool teacher, volunteering in countless things at my church, and I had also started up the College application process, for the second time, mind you. Although things have become stressful, God has continually blessed me with my finances. I've paid all my bills on time, been able to use my own money for things at church and with the youth, and tithing has been steady. This week, my car is falling apart, and college bills are beginning to accumulate. Today, I'm realizing that where I'm working, I'm not going to make enough money to buy a new car and be able to live and continue to support myself in college come the fall. The stress has been adding daily, and my prayers are always increasing. And then... I stopped myself. "Breathe Brittany, breathe..." A verse came into my head as I watched a little girl in the class I teach spill her Spaghettios all over the lunch table. Matthew 6:34, "Do not worry about tomorrow, for tomorrow will worry about itself." As Americans, we are so programmed by society to think ahead, look to the future, prepare for the worst. And why? WHY do we continually stress over things that we cannot change. I can't make my college tuition any less, I can't keep my car running any longer, and the Lord knows I can't get my boss to pay me anymore... I've tried. God knows what is going on in my life. He knows that my tomorrows are full of enough trials of their own, than for me to stack today's apprehensions on top of it all. If I choose to get myself into a frazzled mess, it's not going to make any of my troubles lighter for today. Let's try to live by this truth; let today's worries be in God's hands, and our stresses and fears of tomorrow will take care of themselves. So, whose up for some coffee??
