I was thinking about all the things i have to do and it seemed to me that there was way tro much to do and so little time. Desires and obligations, dreams, wants, needs, people to see… all pulling me in every way possible and i just could not seem to figure out what to do next… On top of that if i decided to do one thing I was thinking about doing something else while i was doing that very thing! Often not even getting that one thing done… So how on earth are we all supposed to get through this life and do what we ought to do, do what we want to do, and do what needs to be done… and while we are doing it remember to live!

You see this is very simular to the parable of the farmer spreading seeds on the ground. The thrid discription shows us the seed dropping in among thorns and growing up … in the process they are strangeded and do not mature. Thios is described as the pleasures, worries and the wealth of this world… So HOW do we over come and be like the 4th scenario that describes seed falling on the fertile soil producing 30,60,100 times the crop that was inicitally sown?

PRAYER

Simple no? Well let me just leave you with my own personal testimony… 10 years ago I became a Christian and I loved it… still do . I spent countless number of hours reading the bible, listening to christian music, talking to my friends about God, going to youth group, listewning to sermons… AND PRAYING… while I was discovering all the amazing mysteries of God… on my own by God revealing them to me, I came across things that really put a lot of doubt  in God, disbelief, and this really bothered me cause my experiences with God were truely amazing up to that point and i didnt want to give up the family I had formed, the love, the relationship with god and my fellow brothers and sisters in Christ… howevere I could not deny some of the logical things I was coming up with on my own that flew in the face of a faith in a higher power,… God…

SO one day i got fed up and I said “God, you havent provided me with reasonable explanations to these problems… and it says in your word that you will reveal all things to those who ask… so i am going to pray and i want you to answer my questions or I think i have to not believe in you…”

So i sat down and started to pray… but not just pray and talk to god , I listened after I asked a question cause thats the only thing that made sense to do if i was going to have him speak to me and show me why certain things were they way they were and how he was going to answer my nagging suspicians and doubts…SO I asked a question and then listened, but i didnt just listen i tried every form of listening… I asdked a question then let my mind answer the questions for me… and guess what… every one of my questions was answered!!!!!

My friends, the purpose of this story is to give you my personal example of WHY you need to pray, cause you get answers… and todays question is this ” God what should i be doing, whats important, where should i be going”…and many many more… why do you ask these questions, and others like them,  in prayer all the time? For direction, so that life has fullfillment and satisfaction, because God knows whats Best… I know you know whats good, but God knows best…

So dont wait for tomorrow, start today… bring God into the decisions of your life, bring him into the mornings and talk to him about your plans for that day… bring him into your life in prayer by talking with him in any way you can and he will guide you and he will give you PEACE, JOY, LOVE and you will be a witness of grace and your light will shine among all men!

God Bless

Luke 8:1-14 (New International Version)

Luke 8

The Parable of the Sower

¹After this, Jesus traveled about from one town and village to another, proclaiming the good news of the kingdom of God. The Twelve were with him, ²and also some women who had been cured of evil spirits and diseases: Mary (called Magdalene) from whom seven demons had come out; ³Joanna the wife of Cuza, the manager of Herod’s household; Susanna; and many others. These women were helping to support them out of their own means.

⁴While a large crowd was gathering and people were coming to Jesus from town after town, he told this parable: ⁵“A farmer went out to sow his seed. As he was scattering the seed, some fell along the path; it was trampled on, and the birds of the air ate it up. ⁶Some fell on rock, and when it came up, the plants withered because they had no moisture. ⁷Other seed fell among thorns, which grew up with it and choked the plants. ⁸Still other seed fell on good soil. It came up and yielded a crop, a hundred times more than was sown.”
When he said this, he called out, “He who has ears to hear, let him hear.”

⁹His disciples asked him what this parable meant. ¹⁰He said, “The knowledge of the secrets of the kingdom of God has been given to you, but to others I speak in parables, so that,
” ‘though seeing, they may not see;
though hearing, they may not understand.’^[a]

¹¹“This is the meaning of the parable: The seed is the word of God. ¹²Those along the path are the ones who hear, and then the devil comes and takes away the word from their hearts, so that they may not believe and be saved. ¹³Those on the rock are the ones who receive the word with joy when they hear it, but they have no root. They believe for a while, but in the time of testing they fall away. ¹⁴The seed that fell among thorns stands for those who hear, but as they go on their way they are choked by life’s worries, riches and pleasures, and they do not mature.

Matthew 13:1-23 (New International Version)

Matthew 13

The Parable of the Sower

¹That same day Jesus went out of the house and sat by the lake. ²Such large crowds gathered around him that he got into a boat and sat in it, while all the people stood on the shore. ³Then he told them many things in parables, saying: “A farmer went out to sow his seed. ⁴As he was scattering the seed, some fell along the path, and the birds came and ate it up. ⁵Some fell on rocky places, where it did not have much soil. It sprang up quickly, because the soil was shallow. ⁶But when the sun came up, the plants were scorched, and they withered because they had no root. ⁷Other seed fell among thorns, which grew up and choked the plants. ⁸Still other seed fell on good soil, where it produced a crop—a hundred, sixty or thirty times what was sown. ⁹He who has ears, let him hear.”

¹⁰The disciples came to him and asked, “Why do you speak to the people in parables?”

¹¹He replied, “The knowledge of the secrets of the kingdom of heaven has been given to you, but not to them. ¹²Whoever has will be given more, and he will have an abundance. Whoever does not have, even what he has will be taken from him. ¹³This is why I speak to them in parables:
“Though seeing, they do not see;
though hearing, they do not hear or understand. ¹⁴In them is fulfilled the prophecy of Isaiah:
” ‘You will be ever hearing but never understanding;
you will be ever seeing but never perceiving.
¹⁵For this people’s heart has become calloused;
they hardly hear with their ears,
and they have closed their eyes.
Otherwise they might see with their eyes,
hear with their ears,
understand with their hearts
and turn, and I would heal them.’^{[a] 16}But blessed are your eyes because they see, and your ears because they hear. ¹⁷For I tell you the truth, many prophets and righteous men longed to see what you see but did not see it, and to hear what you hear but did not hear it.

¹⁸“Listen then to what the parable of the sower means: ¹⁹When anyone hears the message about the kingdom and does not understand it, the evil one comes and snatches away what was sown in his heart. This is the seed sown along the path. ²⁰The one who received the seed that fell on rocky places is the man who hears the word and at once receives it with joy. ²¹But since he has no root, he lasts only a short time. When trouble or persecution comes because of the word, he quickly falls away. ²²The one who received the seed that fell among the thorns is the man who hears the word, but the worries of this life and the deceitfulness of wealth choke it, making it unfruitful. ²³But the one who received the seed that fell on good soil is the man who hears the word and understands it. He produces a crop, yielding a hundred, sixty or thirty times what was sown.”

Well, I had a few things happen to me over the last couple of days which I feel compelled to record.

For one thing, I’ve previously mentioned how the Lord sent me a message which calmed me in the middle of my panic. I believe it was the Lord, at least. My wife did too. A few days after that, maybe a week, I got an email from a new acquaintance on my personal blog in which he offered to introduce me to an agency for tech writers. The agent he introduced me to ended up calling me and through a strange course of events, I ended up with this book contract (I still don’t have the contract, but you get the idea). Well, in that email the new acquaintance gave me the last line which read, “The Universe has its eye on you.”

I didn’t think anything more about it. Later, as I said, I got the contract. (This is all detailed elsewhere on this blog.) I went on.

I don’t know what fired it up, or when it kicked up, but the panic is back. It’s been banging on my mind’s door for some time now. I tried praying through it, but nothing helped. I asked the Lord for confirmation of His “What if I already did?” message — was it from you? if so did it mean you’ve already delivered me from this financial mess? when will it be? Of course I received no answer to those questions.

So I’m freaking out. I don’t know what’s happening in my life, nothing seems to be going right, and just before Christmas I get hit with a huge bout of depression and anger. Okay, not huge. It was pretty mild, actually. Nevertheless, I had it. As I sat watching A Christmas Story and saw how that family, not being rich or more than middle class, were able to give an abundance of gifts to their kids, and remember how Christmases past were for me, I just … got discouraged. And yeah, a little angry. And weepy. You know — the usual for me.

Anyway, as I prayed about it, a few things happened and it made me a little bit nervous at first. For one thing, I remembered that last line of that acquaintance’s email: “The Universe has its eye on you.” And I started wondering … what if, just what if, that was the confirmation I asked for? What if the Lord knew I’d be here back then, and He set that email up so when I sank into despair He’d be there with an encouraging message? … sent from the past when I didn’t need it, didn’t even notice it in fact? What if? “What if I already did?”

The thought sent me reeling. I couldn’t believe it. I got flabbergasted. Here I am, complaining about what God isn’t doing and not answering me and how am I supposed to figure this out, when the answer might’ve been there all the while. Mind-blowing stuff.

So, that’s one thing. During this same time, when all the complaining and fear hit and converged, something else happened. I prayed like the dickens every chance I could, but it wasn’t easy. I felt distracted and unfocused. As I sat and prayed, a story occurred to me which I haven’t thought about in a while. I’ve told it many times in many contexts. I heard it first from my friend Bill, and it’s stuck with me through all the time which opened between us.

The story’s about a Japanese prince who wanted to be the best martial artist in the world. So he sent people all over the country in search of the greatest martial arts teacher in Japan. When they returned they all agreed, they’d found the greatest sensei in all Japan, and they told the prince where to find him. The prince went to the teacher and said, “Master, I wish to be your student. I want to become the greatest martial arts fighter the world has ever known. How long will it take me to achieve this goal?” The teacher sat and thought for a moment, then answered with great assuredness, “Ten years.” The prince was dismayed. “Ten years? Oh no. No, no. That’s much too long. What if I work twice as hard and long as your other students every day? Then how long will it take me?” Again, the sensei considered the statement carefully, and answered, “Twenty years.” The prince started. “TWENTY years?! How can it be so? All right, master, what if I awake at sunrise and work nonstop until the noon hour, when I will only pause to eat a bowl of rice, and then return to my work until sunset, and again eat only a bowl of rice, and then return until after dark to my studies, and do so every day without fail? Then how long will it take me to become the greatest fighter in the world?” The sensei rubbed his chin and thought about the prince’s words. Finally, he nodded and said, “Thirty years.” The prince was so astounded he pulled out his hair and jumped up and down. When he calmed himself, he said, “Master, why is it every time I tell you I will work harder or longer to become the greatest fighter in the world, you say it will take longer to do so?!” The old man sat back and sipped his tea, stared at the young man with wise eyes and said, “Because, the more time you spend looking at the goal, the less time you spend looking at the path.”

At first glance, that story doesn’t seem to have much to do with God, at least not the Christian God, does it? Oh, but it does. It can at any rate. I didn’t see it until it started to occur to me in prayer.

For me, the “goal”, the destination, has been deliverance from my financial troubles. I don’t know how or when, but I believe the Lord told me He’s already done that by asking me, in a moment of panic, “What if I already did?” According to my wife, He stated it as a question to help strengthen my faith, and to make me seek Him. To learn to trust, sort of. And in so doing, to hear His voice in this mess. So, back to the point. I believe the Lord was telling me to get my eyes off that goal. If He’s already taken care of it — and this is sort of confirmed by my wife’s own experience, but neither of us can say for sure — then it’s a matter of running into the events when they occur. That is to say, the Lord God set the day and time of that/those event(s), and there isn’t anything I can do to hurry them or make them come about faster. The best I can do is walk forward, and I will intersect with them when it’s time.

How does the story relate? I had my eyes on the goal. Always. I worried, wondered when it would come about, when He would save us, IF He would (still no guarantees, this is all speculation remember). I never had my eyes on the path, ever. What is the path? The path is the day. This day. This moment. “Today has worries enough of its own.” Jesus exhorted His friends to live in the day, not to worry about tomorrow. It would come with its worries, its fears, its pressures, its pains, and its joys and happiness too. So don’t look so far ahead. Sure, sometimes you can’t help it. Part of being a grown-up and responsible adult is realizing you have to plan for the future (and I haven’t done that; it’s literally up to Him to provide one for me, I’m sorry to say). But for the journey, remember this: you have only today. There is no tomorrow. Yesterday is gone. This moment is the only one you have. So take your eyes off the goal and start looking at the path. If you don’t you’re going to trip, fall, stumble, get lost, and it will take a lot longer to get there than if you just pay attention to what’s in front of you.

What’s in front of me? The Lord. I’m seeking His face every day, every chance I get. The kids are in front of me. I have precious time with them now. My wife is in front of me. She’s been a friend and encourager for the 12 years we’ve been together, and she’s unflagging in her love and support. My writing’s in front of me. I can only do what I can, but I have this tech book to write and I have fiction I can write and I don’t know what, if any, place that has in my future, in God’s great plans.

And God is always there in front of me. I have to find work; that’s in front of me. January 1, 2010, brings a whole new search effort. And a lot of prayer too. I have plenty of that in front of me, right here and now, no doubt.

SO — remembering. Yep. I remember. There’s a few things which came back to me and I didn’t think twice about them at the time. Now, though, God has seemed to bring those things forward and put them at the front of my mind so I can stare at them and wonder … and, hope.

This activates air element – one of the five elements, inside you. It is connected with Heart Chakra. Chant the bija mantra ‘Om Yum Namaha’ when you do the Mudra.

How to do Chin Mudra

On both hands, index finger touching the thumb, keep the other three fingers straight. Can keep the eyes closed — not necessary though. Watch the breath. Preferably keep the back straight or move around if you are feeling lethargic.

Advantages of doing Chin Mudra

• For Lower Back Pain, do Chin Mudra and chant “Wung R Hong”.
• Chin Mudra brings down the stress level. Therefore, do Chin Mudra until tension comes down to zero.
• This is also called as Gyan Mudra as it is normally used during meditation by keeping your hands on your lap, with the palm of the hands facing the sky. You can put Chin Mudra while chanting mantras.
• Chant EEJO while doing Chin Mudra.

After eating food, if Belching happens, then it means the Apanan – a type of prana that is supposed to flow down, is coming up.

It will also bring down your head aches – which could be happening due to too much worry and thinking. You will get better relief by doing this Mudra and chanting the Chinese mantra.

• How to remove congestion from the pranic body?

If the congestion is more, Chin Mudra is the most effective way to remove the congestion. Chin Mudra will activate the Apana Vaayu which goes down. You have to do inhaling and exhaling with Chin Mudra.

• This Mudra releases the excess energy from us. For example, your excess anger will come down.
• Kindles yellow energy inside you. Mars is activated.

A 20 year old girl accidently falls in love with a person of 40 years. May be it is infatuation. This Mudra controls the infatuation. If they don’t want to do the Mudra, give them gem remedy Coral. If its infatuation, they will separate and if it is true love they will marry.

Infatuation is excess of un-channelled energy.  This Mudra helps to prevent misconduct between male and female.

Good for Lethargy

• When you feel sleepy after lunch.
• Mentally stressed out in the evening as too many thoughts in the mind.
• Not able to get from bed in the morning.

Chin Mudra boosts your energy and thus activity.

When the mind has gone overboard, it can normalize.

The Chin Mudra helps to boost activity during the day.

• Affirmations to remove lethargy

“I release my desire to sleep”

“I release my resistance to get up and do the work.

(Desire and resistance work in opposite directions)

Today is Christmas. My present is lying under the tree and I am waiting in expectation until I am allowed to open it. I told my sister earlier that

I could wake up at midnight and sneak down the stairs. Then I could open up my present very carefully and wrap it up again and nobody would know. I would either be happy or disappointed, but at least I could sleep…

But of course I could sleep (and no, I didn’t sneak down the stairs)! I remember when I was younger (so much younger than today…) and I couldn’t for sheer excitement about the presents that would await me the next day. But now I am older, and I have learned to be less excited about the presents as there are many other, greater things to worry and stress out about. Isn’t it interesting that we always make our worries big enough to fill up our world?

When we are young we do that to Christmas and our Birthdays and the excitements that come along with that… When we are older, we blow up the worries we have to immense proportions too, only we don’t realize it because we say something like: “Why was I so worried then? That was such a small and tiny thing to be worried about! I have much bigger things to worry about now!” And we get on with life, worrying about the “big” things. Later on, we find out that, really they were small, and we have such weightier, more important things to worry about now. Until… we figure out that worrying is meaningless.

Urgh…now don’t get me wrong i adore Christmas but am i the only one who feels it came just a little too quick this year? I swear it was only Hallowe’en yesterday, and it was surely only last week that it was the summer? No? Oh..well where the hell did the time go then? Where? And how can I make it rewind?

Man I want that time back, think what I could do with another few months, the fun I could have, the friends I could see, not to mention the bloody Junior Cert i could study for…ooh..err. But stil not much I can do is there? Is there?!

I wish I could just slow time down sometimes, just a little bit, not the way time seems to slow down during a boring class or in the last 15minutes of an exam when they stop letting people out to the toilet and you really need to go. I mean just an extra day or two to enjoy things, an extra day to lie in the park with my friends sunbathing and laughing, listening to music and singing out of key. Is it just me who feels like this? Or are there others who understand me?

Because I am genuinly scared of how fast things seem to be going, I keep wondering am I missing something important that I wont be able to reclaim later, when it’s too late.

I know what I want out of life, Happiness, and I knwo what I want to do to get that but maybe, maybe…oh I dunno. I just sometimes wish there was a pause button on life. Or that I had a camera that captured the pictures exactly how I saw them and could capture the sounds, smells, and feeling and everything that comes with an experience yanno?

But I dunno, I think I’m a little bit crazy sometimes…
Peace Dudes. ♥

Ask anyone that truly knows me and they will tell you that I am not exactly the warmest person to be around. Well there are exceptions, I am quite warm when I am cuddling in bed, but that wasn’t my point. I was referring to a different kind of warm.  I am not a person that deals well with feelings, either my own or anyone else’s.

~neverending~

Life gets to me, sometimes, the stuff that must be done, the activities that we must rush off to, the constant upkeep of the house, cooking, laundry etc.  It all gets to me and I am disappointed because I let it get to me.  I stop and think all of this shouldn’t be this hard.  We should just do and be, and not worry about it all so much.  However, the nature of being an adult is having the constant worry and mile long to do lists.  The worst is when special times come around, that should be nothing but fun, spiral out of control into the food has to be just right, will there be enough, the house has to be cleaned, everything must appear perfect while no one sees me crumble to the floor.  But those times of entertaining are long gone, I no longer cook massive amounts and just call random friends and tell them to bring a side dish or dessert and whatever spirit they fancy and come on over cause we are gonna have fun, nope, those days are long gone….where was I?

~get that finger outta my face~

I could say that I have decided to just do what I can and not worry about the rest, but that is not my nature.  I am a perfectionist at heart and sometimes nothing less will do. But there are those times that all the perfectionism in the world is not enough to motivate me.  Oh and that is just perfectionism of the heart, and it doesn’t translate to the real world, in my real world there are kids that take one swipe at whatever fairy tale I can concoct. I will say that I have been hit with a bout of mediocrity, lately.  I haven’t cleaned my floors everyday.  I can’t even remember the last time I actually cleaned the floors, and I walk past the black smear on the floor and I wonder what it is and why can’t anyone else clean it, like whoever is responsible for it being on the floor in the first place, don’t they see it, doesn’t it bother anyone and yeah it will be there until the day comes and I just get tired of seeing it and will become unhinged and rant and rave and yell and scream and demand that it get cleaned….I haven’t cooked as many meals as I think I should.  I have been letting the kids eat far more junk than is allowed by wagging finger moms and it feels okay.  Not to say that I will always have this feeling, but for right now it feels really good.

Years ago I took the Dale Carnegie course and it really made a difference to me then. This short video has some of the key thoughts compiled by the book written by Dale Carnegie. I still remember, after several decades, the concept of living in ‘day tight compartments’ and sometimes still apply that thought.

I hope these ideas are of interest to you, but mostly I hope that you can reduce your worries and experience a happier day.

First, a big congrats to Al at Mission: Motherhood for rocking the BFP this morning. Al’s baby-making blog is one of the first I began following and her news today lit me up from the inside out. It is, in a word, AWESOME!!!!

Okay, onto my CD13 update. I wore a bright red and green plaid shirt to the RE’s office this morning (it’s cute, I promise) and my knee-length argyle socks. This was an effort to put some “happy” into my aura. (I also wore jeans and white converse high tops. It was a casual day at work.) I CAN DO THIS, I kept thinking. I can take the bad news. I am strong. I am calm. JUST BREATHE. No matter what this ultrasound throws at me, just breathe.

The results were decent. I have two 17.5mm follies on the left side. My lining grew almost 1mm to 3.2. That’s still really thin, but, I mean, it’s growing. I was shocked by that…I figured it’s be the exact same. So that’s awesome. Go body! Keep up the good work!

And the best part: I’m triggering tomorrow night. Yep, for his 31st bday, hubs will be giving me that magical Ovidrel shot. (Hey, it beats having to do his biz in a cup for an IUI on the morning of his birthday!) Because of the way this all worked out timing-wise, we are not doing the IUI this cycle. And I am completely cool with that. For all of my attempts to control/plan/take charge of my important cycle days, it just didn’t pan out that way. The good news is that hubs has great swimmers so we can spend the weekend gettin’ busy under my parents’ roof.

The nurse said it’s too late to do anything about my lining. (My Googling suggests otherwise, but whatevs.) She said there are two kinds of docs, those who think lining is a big deal, and those who don’t. Dr. C doesn’t think it’s a deal-breaker. She said if we conceive and it’s a good embryo, it’ll find a way to stick. Plus, the lining may thicken up a bit more before ovulation. Those are the POSITIVES. The obvious negative is that a thin lining is not as nourishing, soft and welcoming to any good eggs floating around looking for a place to get comfy. And the two maturing follies are not big fatties at the moment.

I’m not saying any of that to be a downer, I’m just being realistic. My TTC defense mechanism is alive and well….I’m gimpy this cycle. But NEXT time? Maybe my odds will be up. Dr. C will prescribe something to counteract the thin lining Clomid causes in me. We won’t be traveling so we can IUI if we want. At minimum, we’ve LEARNED from this cycle, right? Right!

But still. I admit that I really, really, really want it to work. I’m going to enjoy the weekend with my parents, siblings, friends. And I’m going to have lots and lots of fun with my wonderful hubby. And that, my friends, is that! Thank you all so much for the support and comments, it has helped me through a roller coaster of a week. Merry Christmas!!

I am leaving you with a gift—peace of mind and heart. And the peace I give is a gift the world cannot give. So don’t be troubled or afraid. John 14:27

Jesus offers to us peace of heart and mind as a gift, because He knows that peace is something that we all desperately need. He doesn’t say He is going to take away all our difficulties so we can have peace. Life is always going to be a series of problems, but He promises something better: Peace IN the middle of your problems. But what holds us back from experiencing that kind of personal peace? There are four things Christ has been teaching me…

1. Accept What Cannot Be Changed
Acceptance is the key to personal peace. When you are struggling with a situation, do what God gives you the strength to do, but when you hit a wall and there is nothing more that can be done, accept what cannot be changed. Acceptance says “since there are many things that are outside of my control, I am going to put my trust in the One who is in control of everything.” (See SERENITY PRAYER post.)

2. Learn from Christian Mentors
When Mary heard she was going to be mother of Jesus, the first thing she did was to go spend time with Elizabeth (Luke 1:39-40, 56). Over the next three months, Elizabeth, who herself had been through a lot of ups and downs in life, mentored Mary spiritually to become the person God wanted her to be. We all need a Lizzy in our lives to teach us how to live at peace in the middle of problems. If you are struggling with peace, seek out a Christian mentor who you can learn from.

3. Focus on God’s Mercy
Did you ever notice how you can be perfectly content, but one trip to the mall ruins all that. What happened? Your focus changed. Instead of focusing on what you have, you begin to focus on what you don’t. If you are struggling with peace, focus on the things that God HAS done for you. Don’t worry about anything; instead pray about everything; tell God your needs and don’t forget to thank Him for His answers. If you do this, you will experience God’s peace, which is far more wonderful than the human mind can understand. Philippians 4:6-7

4.Lean on God’s Faithfulness
A number of years ago, Jesse Ventura (formerly “the body” and governor of Minnesota) stated “Christianity is a crutch for weak people.” He was so wrong. Christianity is not a crutch for weak people; Christianity is more like a wheelchair for disabled people. We’re all disabled with sin and struggles. And relying on our own strength and faithfulness, will alway lead to more anxiety and more stress. If you are struggling with peace, stop trying to do life on your own and lean on the One who has always been faithful to you.

The faithful love of the Lord never ends! His mercies never cease. Great is His faithfulness; 
 His mercies begin afresh each morning. I say to myself, “The Lord is my inheritance; therefore, I will hope in Him!” Lamentations 3:22-24

In 2008 Our nation was in the middle of a political battle as we faced an election year unsure of who our future leader would be.  Oil prices continued to rise, in turn increasing prices for virtually all goods and services which required transport.   The housing market continued to decline in the midst of a sub prime mortgage crisis.  Many worried about job security as the country’s economy struggled to maintain economic growth rather than recession. 

Yes, we faced and continue to face uncertainty.  Yet, America is still a blessed nation.  It is easy to get caught up in the media frenzy.  Bad news sells.  Unfortunately the more we worry, the less we spend; which actually feeds a recession.  During this time my sister and I were discussing the economy and contemplating the possibility of America  facing her first depression since the 1930’s.  I realized the more we talked, the more concerned (worried) I became.  After our conversation the Holy Spirit reminded me that worry and fear are the opposite of faith, and without faith it is impossible to please God.  He then reminded me that God had already addressed these concerns in His word:   

Matthew 6: 25- 34 (NIV)     Therefore I tell you, do not worry about your life, what you will eat or drink; or about your body, what you will wear. Is not life more important than food, and the body more important than clothes?  Look at the birds of the air; they do not sow or reap or store away in barns, and yet your heavenly Father feeds them. Are you not much more valuable than they?  Who of you by worrying can add a single hour to his life?  And why do you worry about clothes? See how the lilies of the field grow. They do not labor or spin. Yet I tell you that not even Solomon in all his splendor was dressed like one of these. If that is how God clothes the grass of the field, which is here today and tomorrow is thrown into the fire, will he not much more clothe you, O you of little faith?  So do not worry, saying, ‘What shall we eat?’ or ‘What shall we drink?’ or ‘What shall we wear?’ For the pagans run after all these things, and your heavenly Father knows that you need them. But seek first his kingdom and his righteousness, and all these things will be given to you as well.  Therefore do not worry about tomorrow, for tomorrow will worry about itself. Each day has enough trouble of its own.

We serve an awesome God and His word has promised that HE will supply all our needs.  As I thought about all of this I remembered a song written many years ago entitled “Don’t Worry, Be Happy”.  I’m not sure who wrote or sang it originally but I know Bob Marley recorded it.  Thus, the title of this “Reflection”. 

We CAN be happy and at peace in the face of uncertainty if we stand on the promises of HIS word.
