A bigger church,
many, many more names to learn, new relationships to build...new schools for my
boys and many new challenges to come.
It's enough to really freak me out.
I can start questioning my ability to work alongside my husband in
ministry, I can question God about why he moved us from a church that was
starting to really show growth, but I have to continually ask myself, "Why
worry?" One of my favorite passages
in scripture is found in Matthew 6:25-34.
“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 than food, and the body more 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? Can any one of you by worrying add a single hour to your life? “And
why do you worry about clothes? See how the flowers 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—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."
When I worry I begin
to doubt and doubt is one of the worst things a person can do (it's something I
truly struggle with). Doubt starts with
a tiny whisper. It's like the "good
angel" on one shoulder and the "bad angel" on the other. When that tiny voice starts in my head,
sometimes I am not strong enough to silence it.
But what I know for sure is that God does not make mistakes. He puts us on a path to seek and serve and when we listen to Him with our whole heart, everything just falls into place.
