Powerful Words to Live By

Ive always meant to read it, honest Ihave... but life has just gotten in the way... Until now.
My Dad is a child of God...... Someone I can go to when I need help, or need answers... When I say help, I dont mean financially. Although if desperate enough Im sure he would. He gave me a gift several years back.... and it got tossed aside as so many gifts do, stuck up in the top of the closet, or put on a shelf... Anyhow, over the past few weeks, we have been packing, for the unknown. Literally. We know we have the job, and we know we're moving, but we're not exactly sure of all the details. Anyhow, it's bothered me all this time, and even though, I have putmy trust in my husbands words and started packing, making arrangments for cable and all that to be turned off etc... I am packing, and Im come across a book... that I promise I started to read, and somehow... it just got put down, and possibly forgotten about.. But, with all the packing, and no TV and no scrapping... I decided to not pack this book, and start reading. Im sure you have heard of it, it's called "The Purpose Driven Life". I think it's the best thing I couldve done .... cause in this time, through all this stress of the unknown and words of non-encouragment from different people about this move, I really needed to know what we were doing was for the best. So, Im reading every night before I go to bed, it helps me wind down and get sleepy, and every night Im taking away some great insight to my life and why Im here and all that... But, tonight.... Im reading and it hits me like an arrow hitting an apple off of a servants head.... In plain black and white... two simple , yet powerful sentences. " Don't Worry. If you choose to live for God, He will give you what you need". And that was it....... that was what Ive been needing to hear. Wow... If I just quit worrying and just live for Him, it will all fall in place. It's really simple if you think about it... isnt it? And Im sure Ive known this all along, but I think, no... I know ... I needed a gentle reminder that Im not here for myself.... Im here because he chose for me to be.... Im here for God. It will all work out.... It will all be ok. No matter the situtation. I need to just live for Him and rely on the simple truth... He is in control.

Thanks for listening....
