She considers herself overbearing. I can understand her frustrations but I didn't realize I don't worry much about the things I've no control of...guess, it was so natural for me but I had a hard time breaking the pattern of too much in control of everything(that I can control), I can't keep up rules and I will do most things my own way and if it doesn't happen as what I hoped it would be... that's where I'm lost... somehow along my journey God taught me to be pliant and it was so tough... and still learning:)Shawiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10146990145975942152noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1282814980296803369.post-55797830232639637112009-03-18T05:25:00.000-07:002009-03-18T05:25:00.000-07:00What a great reminder to avoid WORRY.

Loving those around me. Looking at nature. Listening to His still small voice. Resting. Playing. Just being. Not striving. Enjoying the gift of the "present." <BR/><BR/>Loved your thought provoking post about ways to do something small instead of worrying.<BR/><BR/>:)<BR/>Love in Christ,<BR/><BR/>TiffanyTea with Tiffanyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17014131105695691106noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1282814980296803369.post-75708339366476742202009-03-17T18:10:00.000-07:002009-03-17T18:10:00.000-07:00I am so glad you shared today.

When in reality, there is a small chance it will happen, and an even smaller chance that it will turn out badly. Probably once we can let go of those kinds of worries, our lives will be much easier, and we can focus our energy on things we can do something about.<BR/><BR/>~ KristiAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1282814980296803369.post-23122492645003276502009-03-17T13:18:00.000-07:002009-03-17T13:18:00.000-07:00Yep, and amen!

So we take the faith (little or big) God gives and trust Him and invest the "talents" He's given us - our time, money, energy, abilities, whatever the faith He gives us enables us to do and do them, and entrust the outcome to Him.

Because most people are natural born worriers. Its not just you. God has 365 fear nots in the bible. He knew we would worry and so does the enemy. The enemy wants our minds focused on the things we can't control - past/future. Two biggest prescription drugs...no coincidence.<BR/><BR/>God wants us right where we are - trusting that HE will provide the good in our lives and fulfill His promises - as we patiently wait with faith we will inherit it all.<BR/><BR/>Thank you for all the encouraging comments and love you have shown to our family! We appreciate you and truly hope to meet you IN PERSON this side of heaven!<BR/><BR/>Love,<BR/>JillAnonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17247824698674815568noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1282814980296803369.post-52010548149953554302009-03-17T10:20:00.000-07:002009-03-17T10:20:00.000-07:00Hello fellow worrier, Isn't it great that we have ...Hello fellow worrier, <BR/><BR/>Isn't it great that we have each other to encourage to a better way of living.Patriciahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12726023982168442155noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1282814980296803369.post-4236459092995129202009-03-17T08:43:00.000-07:002009-03-17T08:43:00.000-07:00Debbie, I love this!

However, I would say the numbers in the quote you used are reversed in real life. I think there is more we can't control than what we can but when we take charge of those few things we can control it can have a positive impact in our lives and others.Cindyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15583817947078375493noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1282814980296803369.post-5604734265118759972009-03-17T06:52:00.000-07:002009-03-17T06:52:00.000-07:00Oh, good words!
