Okay I know it has been a long while since I last posted but my computer broke. (Kinda hard to keep up with a blog when you have no Internet access!) Any way, I am getting settled here at OVU and enjoying some of it. (It's not Faulkner but I'm growing more fond of it as I get to know more people.) I am again working at the good ol' DQ in Vienna, nothing new in that area of my life. I also have 2 other jobs! (Yea crazy college kid with 3 jobs and still being a full time student...yet still broke) I babysit for the church that I attend and it is so much fun! I love the kids that I am blessed to watch while their moms go to a bible study! And I also have a work study job for the EDU department at OVU.
I went home a few weekends ago and it was a pretty good time. I got to go to Idewild with my family for Church of Christ Day and hang out with my amazing 3 nephews! We also got free tickets to go another day because it started raining and the closed the park early (A win in my opinion because we got most a day and get to go another for free!). I also gave Bug his birthday present (His birthday was September 11) since I didn't get to go home for his party. He loved his train set!

Now for my short little food for thought. I have been dealing with a lot of stress in my life lately. Its crazy how our lives can really weigh us down isn't it? We allow so many things in our lives tear us down and God is calling for us to just leave things go to Him because He will take care of our every need, if we allow Him.
Do Not Worry (Matthew 6:25-34)
25 “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? 26 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? 27 Can any one of you by worrying add a single hour to your life?
28 “And why do you worry about clothes? See how the flowers of the field grow. They do not labor or spin.29 Yet I tell you that not even Solomon in all his splendor was dressed like one of these. 30 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? 31 So do not worry, saying, ‘What shall we eat?’ or ‘What shall we drink?’ or ‘What shall we wear?’ 32 For the pagans run after all these things, and your heavenly Father knows that you need them. 33 But seek first his kingdom and his righteousness, and all these things will be given to you as well. 34 Therefore do not worry about tomorrow, for tomorrow will worry about itself. Each day has enough trouble of its own.
We were made in the likeness of God. He sent His Son to DIE for us because He loved us that much! We don't need to worry about anything in our lives because He will provide for us and I have found He has always provided for me when I needed. He allows the lilies of the field to grow so beautifully and the bird of the sky always are provided for, so what about us? Did God send His Son to die for the lilies? The birds? No! He sent His Son to die for us because of our sins because He loves us that much! Put your worries into God's hands and allow him to take care of them. After all He will do a much better job dealing with them then we ever could wish to do ourselves.
That's all for tonight!
