One of the reference points of London is the Charing Cross. It is near the geographical center of the city and serves as a navigational tool for those confused by the streets. A little girl was lost in the great city. A policeman found her. Between sobs and tears, she explained she didn't know her way home. He asked her if she knew her address. She didn't. He asked her phone number; she didn't know that either. But when he asked her what she knew, suddenly her face lit up. "I know the Cross," she said. "Show me the Cross and I can find my way home from there." So can you. Keep a clear vision of the Cross on your horizon and you can find your way home. ~from And the Angles Were Silent
This week's blog topic from Proverbs 31 OBS is on “Worry”… AND I know a thing or two about worry. I’m betting a lot of you reading this do as well. Dictionary.com defines worry as: “ to torment oneself with or suffer from disturbing thoughts; fret. ” Torment oneself. Suffer. Fret. That’s what I can do to myself sometimes. I’ve heard that if you worry you don’t really trust that God can handle it. You don’t trust God with it. That’s hard to swallow for me. Because I worry about my kids, my family, me, friends, etc. But I’m in the Bible every single day. I am a Jesus girl. So for me to worry and then see that my worry means I don’t trust that God can handle it is hard. UGH. I am getting better about it though. My time with God every morning is helping. When I start to worry about something…I begin to pray. I stop the tormenting in it...
