Worrier! I worry about everything. I'm not sure why I'm like that, but I have always been one to worry about things. Even as a child, I worried to the point that I made myself sick. I now try to find the humor in this trait I have, but even finding humor doesn't stop the worrying.
I worry about my kids, health issues (I find a way to worry about getting sick when I'm not actually sick), what people think, work, and I even worry about worrying. But when I find myself worrying about something (which is almost all the time) I find myself reflecting and praying over these Bible verses:
"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?" Matthew 6: 25-27
Cast all your anxieties on him, because he cares for you.
1 Peter 5:7
It is not always easy to stop worrying, but I know that the Lord loves me and cares about my worries. I know I can go to him with my worries and that they matter to him! How comforting that is during times when I am consumed with worry. I also know that I have to stop worrying so much and trust in the Lord. He WILL take care of me regardless of if I worry or not, so why worry?! :)
My sweet family
