no more worries?

So...finally, the time I've been waiting for...(yes, go ahead, give a drum roll...) SPRING BREAK! This break is so needed! I've been crazy busy with homework and everything else and this break will be incredible as long as much sleep, much relaxation, and little obligation is involved :)
That's the reason I haven't had a chance to update this. I also haven't had much of a chance to think about anything I want to put on it either.
Here's a verse that I've known for years(most of you probably have, too) but it's been on my heart a lot this week and I've been thinking about it...
Philippians 4:6-7
"Do not be anxious about anything, but in everything, by prayer and petition, with thanksgiving, present your requests to God. And the peace of God which transcends all understanding will guard your heart and mind in Christ Jesus."
WHOA...pretty sweet stuff! I often find myself being anxious and nervous and worrisome about EVERYTHING...I find myself asking questions about everything..."do I have time for this?" "is this really what I want?" "what if it doesn't work out?" etc, etc, etc....
So instead of worrying, I should present those requests to God? YES! So awesome :) He cares...and I need to remember to do it with Thanksgiving, He's so good and I need to be thankful for that! But the coolest part is, when we do this...HIS peace, yes, peace is going to guard my heart and mind! So wonderful!
I long for peace...all the time! I want to feel at peace and feel God's peace and have Him be in control of my heart and mind. :)
Along with this I've been thinking about 1 Peter 5:7 "Cast all your anxiety on Him for He cares for you"
That's the stuff! He CARES about YOU! He wants to hear about all of your problems...from the most serious stuff up until the little tiny stuff...He is crazy about you and He loves you soooo much...He wants to hear about our problems :) Think about it, guys, how often do we find a friend that listens to EVERYTHING without stopping us to tell us about themselves or something? It's not that often, really. I have some really incredible friends, but this is one awesome example of a friendship :)
I just wanted to bless you all with that this week!
happy spring :) Enjoy this sunshine!
