I stole this from his Facebook page. He wrote a note concerning assignments. We both know what we want, but at the end of the day, this life is not ours. It is all HIS. I love that James is accepting of that and is at peace with whatever may come our way. I am equally excited for all that God has planned for us and can't wait to find out what that is!
Peace
25"Therefore I tell you, do not worry about your life, what you will eat or drink; or about your body, what you will wear. Is not life more important than food, and the body more important than clothes? 26Look at the birds of the air; they do not sow or reap or store away in barns, and yet your heavenly Father feeds them. Are you not much more valuable than they? 27Who of you by worrying can add a single hour to his life?
28"And why do you worry about clothes? See how the lilies of the field grow. They do not labor or spin. 29Yet I tell you that not even Solomon in all his splendor was dressed like one of these. 30If that is how God clothes the grass of the field, which is here today and tomorrow is thrown into the fire, will he not much more clothe you, O you of little faith? 31So do not worry, saying, 'What shall we eat?' or 'What shall we drink?' or 'What shall we wear?' 32For the pagans run after all these things, and your heavenly Father knows that you need them. 33But seek first his kingdom and his righteousness, and all these things will be given to you as well. 34Therefore do not worry about tomorrow, for tomorrow will worry about itself. Each day has enough trouble of its own
--Matt 6:25-34
Father, guide me to the path you have planned for me and may my life be a sweet offering to you. I trust you to direct my path, and I'll rejoice in you no matter where that path leads. Please fill me with your spirit as I give you thanks for EVERYTHING in the name of Jesus Christ. My flesh and my heart may fail, but you, God, are the strength of my heart and my portion forever. Humbly at your feet I'm resting. Amen.
