I am a worrier. I admit it. I wish I wasn't, but I often worry about things that are just out of my control. One of my goals for 2011 is to worry less and turn things over to God. Mathew 6:34 says "Therefore do not worry about tomorrow, for tomorrow will worry about itself. Each day has enough trouble of its own."
I started reading Simple Abundance, a book I bought years ago but never finished. She talks about buying a spiral notebook and just writing your worries down, just let them spill out onto the paper and then let them go, come back to them later, if need be. That is what I did, I wrote down my worries and tried to let them go, and turn them over to God. Simple Abundance says it so well, "Life never calms down long enough for us to wait until tomorrow to start living the lives we deserve." I believe God truly wants us to live our life to the fullest, everyday.
Today I made a choice to let go, and put the worries on the paper. My new thing for the day was a Daily Dialogue.
