Casting my Cares

I was so tempted to not read my Bible last night, I really didn't feel like it, but I forced myself to and I am so glad I did! I was reading Luke 10 and one part stuck out to me.

"39 As Jesus and his disciples were on their way, he came to a village where a woman named Martha opened her home to him. 39 She had a sister called Mary, who sat at the Lord's feet listening to what he said. 40 But Martha was distracted by all the preparations that had to be made. She came to him and asked, "Lord, don't you care that my sister has left me to do the work by myself? Tell her to help me!"
41"Martha, Martha," the Lord answered, "you are worried and upset about many things, 42 but only one thing is needed. Mary has chosen what is better, and it will not be taken away from her."

I've been worrying about so many things, some things that shoudn't even matter at the moment. And this kind of opened my eyes, I'm like Martha. I need to be like Mary. I need to just find peace and rest in the presence of God, the One who can never be taken away. My worries can be taken away, by the Lord, but no one can take away my God. Then another verse hit me. It said something like, "Who by worrying can add a single hour to his life?" So true! I'm not helping anything by focusing on the little things. So when I finished reading my Bible, I closed my eyes and envisioned myself standing in front of Jesus. I envisioned handing everything over to Him. My books, bank card, OC tickets, my family, friends, everything! And then I took a deep breath, and I felt at peace about everything. I know it sounds kinda stupid or corny or whatever, but it worked for me :)

I had a really vivid and weird dream last night. The funny thing is most of it could come true if I let it, but I can't. I won't. What is it with people and dreams lately? Hmmmm. I lied, it's 5 days as of today, not yesterday :D 5 days!!!!!!
