Anxiety and Seeking God

Your love is strong, Father.

Why should I worry?

Why do I freak out?

God knows what I need, You know what I need.

I need to remind myself over and over this week.

Walk with us while we make this transition.

Help us to give our loved ones a glimpse of what this move means to us.

Help us to show your love to the children that You have led us to.

Thank You for being present and available so we can fix our eyes on you.

Amen

Matthew 6:34 was one of the first verses that I ever memorized when I began to seek God. I have anxiety but at different points in my life it has become very severe. This verse has brought me a great deal of comfort so it is no surprise that it has been in the front of my mind.

Therefore do not be anxious about tomorrow, for tomorrow will be anxious for itself. Sufficient for the day is its own trouble.

Matthew 6:24

I went to read the context of this today and was greatly comforted.

25 “Therefore I tell you, do not be anxious about your life, what you will eat or what you will drink, nor about your body, what you will put on. Is not life more than food, and the body more than clothing? 26 Look at the birds of the air: they neither sow nor reap nor gather into barns, and yet your heavenly Father feeds them. Are you not of more value than they? 27 And which of you by being anxious can add a single hour to his span of life? 28 And why are you anxious about clothing? Consider the lilies of the field, how they grow: they neither toil nor spin, 29 yet I tell you, even Solomon in all his glory was not arrayed like one of these. 30 But if God so clothes the grass of the field, which today is alive and tomorrow is thrown into the oven, will he not much more clothe you, O you of little faith? 31 Therefore do not be anxious, saying, ‘What shall we eat?’ or ‘What shall we drink?’ or ‘What shall we wear?’ 32 For the Gentiles seek after all these things, and your heavenly Father knows that you need them all. 33 But seek first the kingdom of God and his righteousness, and all these things will be added to you.

Matthew 6:25-33

It is going to be OK, really, it is.

I'm confident that its going to be more OK than we can hope to imagine.

Our apartment is empty and our tickets are booked.

One month of visiting family then we will be on our way.

I feel ready to go.

When I was a kid my Grandma and Grandpa took my brother and I to Disney word. I remember laying awake the night before, my heart was just racing. I was SO excited. I didn't know what was coming but I knew it was going to be totally awesome.

This whole week I have been laying awake in bed while my heart just races. I feel even more excited than I did before going to Disney World.

That's seriously excited.

Note: Anyone that donates will soon have the option to make it tax-deductable. We will be working on setting up a profile through the non-profits website and when it is up and ready we will let everyone know.

Thank you to everyone that has supported our transition thus far. You are making a huge difference .
