Do You Worry?

I know we are not supposed to worry about what we are to wear or what we are to eat. Or where we will live. God feeds and clothes the birds and the flowers so he will surely take care of us too.

It isn't easy not to worry though. In fact worrying is very easy to do. I don't even notice I'm doing it at first. And once I do it isn't easy to quit.

Right now my family is having some troubles. My husband doesn't have a job. He is just doing odd job type things...whatever he can find.

He thinks maybe some companies don't want to hire him because he in his 50s and there are lots of young people out there applying for jobs too. That may be true. And since there are less jobs out there to go around...it may take a long time to find one.

In the mean time we have cut back on things like the cable TV and may have to do even more cutting back soon.

We have still managed to pay all our utility bills and other bills on time so far. We always seem to get just what we actually need for the current ones.

So worrying is pretty much a waste of time. But...it is so hard to stop!

What do you do when you catch yourself worrying?

In Need Of Prayers

It has been almost 2 months since I posted here. Part of the problem is that I got to feeling inadaquate. Compared to some other bloggers I don't know the Bible very well at all.

And I'm not exactly sure if the way this blog was going is where it SHOULD be going. Nor where I intended it to go in the first place.

And my other blog is getting busier and taking up more time too.

And then life started kicking my butt. It seems every time I think things are starting to settle down something else happens.

My husband hasn't been working since just before Christmas and that hurts in more ways than one. He is bored and worried and feeling bad and money is tight too.

The step-kids are still having problems and asking for help and there really isn't anything we can do for them. At least not till they are willing to do for themselves too. They both have drug problems.

So if you are reading this...please say a prayer for me and my family. Not just for the physical needs but for the spiritual. Part of the problem for my husband is that he forgot to pray.  And perhaps I did too.

Hopefully I will figure out what I (or God) wants from this blog and get back to posting regularly.

In the meantime...keep us in your prayers! God bless you!
