She had her big science final on Friday... the big egg drop. See, we actually are homeschooling! Goal is to create a device to secure the safety of one raw egg from at least a 15’ drop. Did her little egg survive?! Well of course it did, she’s brilliant:)
Yep, this is happening! Hope you and yours have found something that brings you JOY during this quarantine:)
My personal CrossFit box in my living room has been upgraded! Thanks to some borrowed equipment from Strongside along with some extra weights from family.... I am ready to go. Even working out on a Saturday today wow. Never say never right?!?
Vacay is now cancelled as well as the rest of the school year:( Boo... hope this virus stays away from my friends and family. Prayers for peace and JOY!
Don't Worry About It—Here's How By Rick Warren — April 1, 2020
"Give all your worries and cares to God, for he cares about you."
1 Peter 5:7 (NLT)
It takes more than willpower to stop worrying. You already know that, because you've already tried it. You've thought, "I shouldn't worry about this," and yet you just keep on worrying about it.
It's going to take more than your willpower to stop worrying. It takes doing these four things:
1. Get to know God.
Jesus says in Matthew 6:32, "People who don't know God and the way he works fuss over these things" (The Message). If you don't have a relationship with God, you have every reason to worry. You've got to get to know God! As a believer, you have a heavenly Father who has promised to take care of you. You are God's child, and children get special privileges. When you worry, God says, "You're my child. Why are you acting like an orphan? I will take care of you."2. Put God first in every area of your life.
Matthew 6:31-33 says, "Don't worry at all about having enough food and clothing . . . your heavenly Father already knows perfectly well that you need them, and he will give them to you if you give him first place in your life and live as he wants you to" (TLB). Any time you take God out of the center of your life and put anything else there—no matter how good it is—you're going to worry.3. Live one day at a time.
The Bible says, "So don't worry about tomorrow, because tomorrow will have its own worries. Each day has enough trouble of its own" (Matthew 6:34 NCV). If you're worrying about tomorrow, you can't enjoy today. You miss today's blessings. It's okay to plan for tomorrow, but you have to live for today. Also, when you're always worried about tomorrow, the future gets overwhelming. But God will give you the grace and strength you need when you get there. Right now, you only need enough power for today.4. Trust God to care.
"Give all your worries and cares to God, for he cares about you" (1 Peter 5:7 NLT). How do you do that? One way is to memorize God's promises in the Bible. They're like an insurance policy for believers. When you know something's covered, you don't worry about it anymore. Another way is to pray. If you prayed as much as you worried, you'd have a lot less to worry about.What's the result of taking these four steps? Incredible peace of mind: "You will experience God's peace, which is far more wonderful than the human mind can understand" (Philippians 4:7 TLB).
