Confession

Let me confess. I nibble my nails. Sometimes I nibble when I am bored, but more often when I am anxious. 

Jesus spoke to us about worry in Matthew 6. “Therefore I tell you, do not worry… who of you by worrying can add a single hour to his life?”

As I have embarked on this adventure, God has been one step ahead of me each day reminding me not to worry or be anxious. 

Early in December I got a call from Melissa. Her family was heading to South Sudan for a five-week stay. She had extra room in her luggage to take some things for me. Due to weight limitations on the last leg of my flight, I am limited to 44 lbs of luggage. I’ve been measuring everything down to the size of my toothpaste tube. 

Now, a stranger, a mother of five with plenty of preparation to do herself, was willing to go to Walmart and buy peanut butter, almonds, dried fruit, shampoo and lotion - for me. These are things that will help me, yet would have otherwise been impossible to consider taking with me.

God does provide all our needs!

What worries can God take care of for you ?
