Friday

What a perfect day today has been. It started out by actually waking up early enough that my husband and I weren't literally running out the door to make it to work on time. 
I dropped him off, went to the gym, (which I LOVE doing on early weekday mornings because it is full of theee sweetest 75+ year olds) came home to find out that I don't have work (wahoo) and now I am drinking an amazing cup of Starbucks Cinnamon Spice via brew, delish. 
Oh, and it is absolutely gorgeous outside, hellllo summer! Finally. 

My sweet husband likes to send me K-loves encouraging word every now and then, and today while I was dying working out, I received this:
Don't worry about anything; instead, pray about everything. Tell God what you need, and thank him for all he has done.
Philippians 4-6


Unfortunately, for the majority of these past few months, Andrew and I have been the king and queen of worrying. It seems like we are always worried about something, whether it be money related and those horrible two words: student loans (yuck) or stressing about the car and how it wouldn't start the other morning. BUT every.single.time God always provides for us and we end up with just what we need. Looking back, we are in awe of all of the times we were so worried and how everything worked out, just how it was supposed to. 

This is my new goal: Not to worry. I have been a worry wort my entire life. Not fun. I remember the summer after 2nd grade and being completely terrified that I was going to forget how to write in cursive. Dear Lord. 

I am going to post this verse up in our house and every time worry slips into our minds, we will be reminded that we are not in control and not to worry about anything.

  1. Tash,
    I simply love this. What a wonderful reminder, that needs to be present in our lives constantly. I worry about the smallest of things, grr. I have to stop and catch myself (more often than not), and remember to breathe. Breathe... such an easy word and action, and yet, how tricky is it to remember it.

    Also, I don't tell you and Andrew enough, how inspiring you guys are. Someday, I hope to be blessed with a best friend, partner in crime, a confidant, like you have found in each other. God's plan for you two just keeps getting better. Hold on to Him... He will never let you go. xo
