Better Than the Birds

While surfing through my normal list of blogs that I follow, I happened on a post at one of my favies... go check her out here!

She states: "Courage doesn't always roar. sometimes courage is a little voice at the end of the day that says, 'I'll try again tomorrow.' "

How much did I need that?! Between my job the thing I go to once or twice a week these days, trying to find a cheaper apartment because of my lack of income, trying to sell the car because of my lack of income and trying to maintain a happy face despite my obvious misery with all of this upheaval… I’m spent.

I love my husband, my dog, our place and our car. I wouldn’t trade them for the world. But this pressure wears on my already fragile mental state. I now spend my days filling out resumes/applications online for HOURS.

Side note: I miss the days of walking into a business with a resume in hand and speaking with someone about a position.

Every morning when I wake up, I mentally brace myself for the time and energy I’m going to spend on a resume that probably no one will see.

And then I read her post. It was exactly what I needed to hear. Unfortunately tonight I will be working but at least I can go in with a smile and know that I am ok. He always ... and HAS always had me in His hands. So why am I stressing?!

Here is where I insert one of my favorite sermons of my lifetime. What man adds a minute to his life by toiling? (yes I’m paraphrasing). Do the birds spin and toil? Does God the father not provide food and water for them? Does He not clothe them and care for them? Are you not better than the birds?

So today, keep smiling, you ARE better than the birds!
