worthless worry

It's Saturday around the Myrick house, and for the first time in a while, we are all here and can actually be LAZY. It's 5:00 and we're still in our pj's! Before you jump to conclusions and throw judgement at us, we have actually accomplished a few house chore things that we never get to during the week. :)

I was having a convo with the parents this morning-ish, about Christmas, money, struggles ... life in general. It's weird, because I have noticed so many people are struggling this year with the financial ability to do Christmas the "good ole Western way" ... yet, so many people are counting their blessings and realizing what life really is all about.

I've been contemplating and praying about the "next step" in life for a few months now, and I can so easily get overwhelmed with the what if's, money, and the basic internal struggle we all feel about being "where God wants us to be" ...

Today, I just decided to stop. All this worry and stress is so worthless. We were put on the earth to LOVE. Period. To accept this unimaginable Love and Grace, and somehow try to learn our part in spreading it to others. I cannot live my life worrying about everything I see with my eyes .. because I know that, ultimately, those things will fade. I WILL live my life searching out the heart of my Creator. And finding out what my tiny part in this big love story between Him and His Creation is.


SO ... let's do this together, shall we? I need you. You need me.
We can't do this alone.

Let's live fully and love much. All this other stuff isn't worth our stress ...
