stress

the thing about stress is that everyone has it.  some handle their stress in different ways, but for me i don't really deal with it.  in my world stress is a book that sits on a shelf, containing every imaginable task in my life and when i read the table of contents i get so overwhelmed realizing that the book never ends.  cheesy analogy but its my blog and i can say whatever i like.   :)

anyways, whenever i get overwhelmed, i try to look at one task at a time and then slowly allow myself to focus on that one event.  however this usually ends in my mind wandering from that chapter to the rest of the novel again. so then i turn to scripture where Jesus, all-knowing, speaks:

 "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 than food, and the body more than clothes?"

"Can any one of you by worrying add a single hour to your life?"

 "Therefore do not worry about tomorrow, for tomorrow will worry about itself.  Each day has enough trouble of its own."

-Matthew 6:25, 27, and 34

i am mainly posting this for myself but if you are ever feeling stressed, just remember these words.   they're good advice! if you get caught up too much in the stress of your tasks you won't be really taking in life when worrying doesn't gain you anything.
