Our church is loosing our pastor as of June 7, 2009. He has been there for 7 years, but is going back to Colorado. We are sad to see them leave, but I can understand that they want to be closer to their daughter and new granddaughter.
Our superintendant was there yesterday and preached.
Choices---we all have to make them. Some we make---are good and others bad. When we make bad choices we have to live with our disappointments if things don't go the way it should or the way we thought they should because at the time we thought they were good choices.
Sometimes we don't think God is answering our prayers, and we get very discouraged and disappointed. Mom used to tell me God answers all our prayers, but sometimes his answers are not to our liking.
Yes, No, Wait a while, or sometimes just Not at this time, or what you really ask for isn't for your best.
It was stressed again yesterday that we should praise God for our Blessings, tell him our problems, then leave them in his hands. We don't have to solve everything.
So, when health, family, financial issues bog me down, I will do my share in what I can, Thank God I have what I have, toss my hands in the air and tell God, here it is, here is what I am worried about, and what my concerns are -- you figure it out.
But then God already knows the outcome. So, why do we let things worry us in the first place?

Good points Verna. So easy to say, but more difficult to do. I am a worrier by nature, but I am trying to let go and let God more often!
Sherri, Didn't say I would always be successful. But know if I can do this it will make me a much happier person.
This was a good post. Made me think of a few things we talked about in our Esther study. I think it was for the scenario "It's tough being a woman thrown a giant sized weight" It related to how often as women we concern ourselves with the "HOW." How to make it all work like we think it should, how to keep it all up, etc. Often times we don't know how but GOD does so we just have to turn to him. Goes right with your thoughts.
