Yay! It snowed! Below is a picture of my car covered in snow yesterday morning. It is already gone, boo! This weekend I got to visit some family friends in Colorado Springs, what a treat! It was soo good to see them and spend time with them before I move back to MN. Part of the weekend treat was that I got to attend church. It doesn't happen very often as we work on the weekends here at camp, so this morning was special. And I can't help but think that it was a divine appointment because of the sermon. The sermon was based on Philippians 4:6-7, in a nut shell: don't worry and give thanks. I am not usually a worry wart, but lately because of my circumstance I have been worrying more than usualy. Will I ever get a full-time job doing something I love? Will I ever get to record my music? When will I be able to move out of my parents' place? Why was I called here to Colorado to be called back home? So many questions, and I always read those verses thinking, yeah, it's just as easy as switching the worry off. But the pastor this morning put it a different way that I never thought before. He said that you don't just stop worrying, you turn you focus onto God; worship, praise, and adoration. With your focus on God, the worry isn't in the forefront and dissipates. Here are some other thoughts about worry that hit straight to my heart:

• Worry is stepping over the line of proper concern.
• "It is not just wrong to worry, it's infidelity" -Oswald Chambers
• Worry takes an opposite stance from any scripture.
• Worry and worship cannot live in the same heart.
• Worry is that which you an I were never meant to assume responsibility for.

I definitely don't have it all down, not even close. But I love hearing new perspectives on life, perspectives that I can actually apply to MY life. Praise God for his Word, and the Spirit that gets my attention!

p.s. sorry this one is so long, it makes up for the days I haven't blogged!
