One
morning January, 2008, Aaron Barth walked into our daily morning
prayer time at Christ Chapel Macon and said something I STILL carry
with me.
“Ya
know, you don't have to read all that stuff in Matthew 6 about the
lilies of the fields & the birds of the air. Jesus said it all at
the beginning – 'don't worry about your life'.”
That
statement was like a thunderclap in my life.
I
carried that thought through 2008 as I went through some pretty
scary, amazing, & wonderful transitions.
I
carry it still.
Do
I live like I completely believe it?
Well...
we all know who & what I am.
But
when things get crazier & crazier in my life,
or
if it looks like there's no light at the end of the tunnel,
I
try to remind myself of what Aaron said,
but
even more importantly, what Jesus Himself said...
“...don't
worry about your life...”
