the big day

Be anxious for nothing, but in everything by prayer and supplication, with thanksgiving, let your requests be made known to God; and the peace of God, which surpasses all understanding, will guard your hearts and minds through Christ Jesus.

Philippians 4:6-7

This is what got me through yesterday. Another day rushing around trying to get everything and not forget anything. so busy i didn't wake up early to read my Bible. Through all this rush for the trip I have been compromising the most important thing for the preparations. Now looking back at the last few days i realize THATS why i have been stressed. I have read this section many times before, especially with our group. But yesterday while my brother was driving us over to my grandpa's birthday i opened up my Bible and came to that spot. I then finally relaxed. I enjoyed my last day with all my family. Getting so stressed and busy, you lose sight of the little blessings God has placed in your life. His peace will get the job done better than my anxiety.
Now, as we are getting closer to leaving, I want to encourage anyone who reads this to look at their life and find the blessings that may have been overlooked in light of something bigger. I will miss everyone who has been helping me. You have contributed to who I am and my faith in Christ. You have all been blessings in my life.
thank you for reading this far
have a blessed tuesday
