A thought before bed

"You know with all your heart and soul that not one of all the good promises the Lord your God gave you has failed. Every promise has been fulfilled."
-Joshua 23:14

As laid back as I would like to think I am, I sure do worry a lot. In most situations I am more laid back than I should be but I worry about the things I can't control. Why do I do that? Maybe it's because I'm a girl. Maybe it's because this world sucks. Maybe it's because 600 Americans die every year from falling out of bed in the morning (and that is a true fact people). Maybe it's because I'm just human in general. I feel like if I started to look at worry as a sin, because it is, I would be less likely to do it. I like this verse in Josh because it talks about God's promises and I could stand to be reminded of at least a few of those every day. holler.

I know that this doesn't really go with the "purpose" of this particular blog post but I just thought I'd share.

I was worried at the beginning of the school year that I would plummet to my death falling from my bunk bed in the middle of the night. (I was over 5 feet above the tile floor.) I learned that I just tucked my sheets in really tight that I would 1)not be able to move that much but 2)not die from falling off my bed.

The End.
