above anything else.

I don't have a lot to worry about. 

I worry a lot. 

Something seems off there doesn't it?

I'm not sure why I drag myself into the worries I do. Most of them are pretty rational, but if I really think about it... is there ever a need to worry about anything?  

If you know the same God that I do, there isn't.

I think this is one of the biggest things that I still need to learn about my God. He takes care of things. Everything. 

And all I need to do is follow. 

All I need to do is follow! 

It sounds easy, but I've been discovering lately that things that sound easy are quite often not. Talking about them is easy, however actually putting those words into action is a completely different story. 

It all fits together: I've been worrying about not following my words, and by worrying, I haven't been following. It just keeps going around in circles!  

For some reason today was the breaking point - I just wanted to cry. It probably had something to do with exams and lack of studying. Good one, Ames.

Instead of crying, I read John. All 21 chapters. 

Was taking that 45 minutes a good idea, with the stressful exam looming?

Yes. 


Honestly, I feel so much better. And, to top it off... I thought I wouldn't get anywhere with studying. Turns out it's way easier than it seemed. Hello miracle. 

I don't know about you, but I consistently forget how easy reading the Bible is. It feels like such a chore to me until I start reading... then I can't put it down! 

God is good, all of the time. I can't get over that. 

Even when I don't know what he's doing in my heart, I know he has the best plans. 

I love how I can trust that above anything else. 


It's hard to follow a lot of the time. It's the long, hard, narrow road, it's going to be difficult! 
But, it's so rewarding. I'm figuring that out slowly =) 

Read a book of the Bible. Right now. Forget about watching that movie, it's a waste of time compared to this. I promise!
