Im sure having a ton of mixed emotions!

I’m sure having a ton of mixed emotions lately. With everything that’s been going on I’m getting pretty down. In addition to still having problems with my meds this week our finances didn’t get all of our bills paid, I wasn’t able to land a good job, and then we got both of our vehicles hit hard by a hit & run driver. When you add all of that to have Bipolar disorder it can get you down pretty fast.

As bad as things are getting for us I still see a lot of people that have it much worse then we do. For starters we have Jesus. In my flesh I really do want to worry, but that is wrong. I know what Jesus said about worrying. Jesus made this very clear in Matthew 6:25-34.

25"So I tell you, don't worry about everyday life--whether you have enough food, drink, and clothes. Doesn't life consist of more than food and clothing? 26Look at the birds. They don't need to plant or harvest or put food in barns because your heavenly Father feeds them. And you are far more valuable to him than they are. 27Can all your worries add a single moment to your life? Of course not.

28"And why worry about your clothes? Look at the lilies and how they grow. They don't work or make their clothing, 29yet Solomon in all his glory was not dressed as beautifully as they are. 30And if God cares so wonderfully for flowers that are here today and gone tomorrow, won't he more surely care for you? You have so little faith!

31"So don't worry about having enough food or drink or clothing. 32Why be like the pagans who are so deeply concerned about these things? Your heavenly Father already knows all your needs, 33and he will give you all you need from day to day if you live for him and make the Kingdom of God your primary concern.

34"So don't worry about tomorrow, for tomorrow will bring its own worries. Today's trouble is enough for today.

So there you have it… Don’t Worry! I’ll try real hard not to! Just to give you an idea of how God works things out today is our 6th anniversary, this time! We were married in 1992, divorced in 1996, and brought back together in Holy Matrimony on December 11th, 1999. My wife and I are living proof that God does bring healing and works things out not only for His good, but for your good too!

Be Blessed!
