Day 70 - Worry

The best peice of advice I came across during my observations to be a teacher was from Pebble Creek Elementary.  The bathroom of PBE.  On the wall in the bathroom at PBE.

A poster that said "Worry won't change tomorrow, but it sure will ruin today."  Some days I live that motto.  Others I don't. 

God does not desire for us to worry.  It's a sign that we do not trust Him.  He has made this abundantly clear in scripture.  He also desires for us to rejoice in the day and worry ruins all chance of that.

For people with trust issues, worries is a staple.  But people with trust issues can change.  God can change people with trust issues and worry issues and all other kinds of issues.

Sometimes worry is actually the feeling of inadequacy or the desire to delay a consequence of our own choices.  We just don't want to face the music we made.  This is worry of our own devices.  We create this worry.

But worrying about things out of our control makes no sense.  I think I'll give it up.
