These are all questions I ask myself. I try to control and predict what my future holds. I predict conversations that I will have with people (that usually never happen), I predict the way someone is going to react to something I have said or done, I try to plan out not only my conversations to people, but also my husbands and children's. This completely drives them crazy by the way. Who am I to try and predict or control other people's reactions? Or better yet, who am I to try and know what tomorrow is going to hold? I can barely make it through today. I am constantly going through my day thinking about what I, my kids, and Poncho have said or done and how others will react to it.
Poor Peyton....I'm not even sure how she survives in the real world without me over analyzing every move she makes. Guess what?? She not only survives, but she thrives! Not only is it a relief to not have to live their life and mine, But it is beautiful to watch! She comes home for a weekend and sometimes I feel like I've been to revival! She is not perfect by any means, but wise beyond her years? Yes indeed! I worry....she quotes Matthew 6:34 "Therefore do not worry about tomorrow, for tomorrow will worry about itself. Each day has enough trouble of its own." This is so true! Lets take it day by day! God has proven over and over He holds tomorrow.
So my goal is to let the God of yesterday be the God of today and tomorrow! He's got this! I don't have to fret over what we are going to eat or wear....or even more ridiculous, how this person is going to react to this or that. My only focus should be depending on and pleasing my God....He will take care of the rest! Whew!!!! I feel better already!
