2013....

wow...


It crept up on me with a quickness.   I measure my life in increments... you know...if its 1:45...I consider it 2:00.   3/4 a cup...just endes up being either 1/2 a cup or a full cup.   If it a bill is $32.60....I pay $33.   That kind of thing.  Well...when the boys went back to school in August last year...I kinda thought

'my God...its the end of the year!!   Where did the year go???

But I still buried it away. 

Not that I absolutely loved 2012.  Nor did I hate it.  There wasnt any BIG trying times.  My oldest graduated high school and started his first year of college.  My youngest got his permit and his first job.  My dad kicked prostate cancer's butt.  President Obama was elected a second term. But there werent any truly sad times.   My kids are growing up.  I'm alone a lot more.    2012 just came...and went.

And now 2013 is already starting out with, maybe not a bang but a little bit of bells and whistles.   Already.   After 19 years,  I have a new job.  A new position.  A new department.  New co-workers.  New supervisors and mangagers.


And new money.

God is most definitely good.

I am scared.    Maybe not scared...more like nervous..   And I've talked this over with God and I do believe...He gets it.  Everytime I bring  it up  I always get the thought

'YOU are the rightesousness of Jesus Christ.'...   It calms me down.  For awhile  (  hey...I'm a work in progress)   :-)

Well, today I guess He got tired of me saying the same thing OVER and OVER again and this scripture was sent to me...
  (without any prompting)

Then Jesus said to his disciples: "Therefore I tell you, do not worry about your life, what you will eat; or about your body, what you will wear. For life is more than food, and the body more than clothes. Consider the ravens: They do not sow or reap, they have no storeroom or barn; yet God feeds them. And how much more valuable you are than birds! Who of you by worrying can add a single hour to your life? Since you cannot do this very little thing, why do you worry about the rest? Consider how the wild flowers grow. They do not labor or spin. Yet I tell you, not even Solomon in all his splendor was dressed like one of these. If that is how God clothes the grass of the field, which is here today, and tomorrow is thrown into the fire, how much more will he clothe you-you of little faith! And do not set your heart on what you will eat or drink; do not worry about it. For the pagan world runs after all such things, and your Father knows that you need them. But seek his kingdom, and these things will be given to you as well."

Luke 12:22-31

The New International Version

Okay...I got it.
