Don't sweat...

the small stuff, was the basic gist of the sermon today at church...I will admit, I got choked up during part of it..In fact, I get choked up at church a lot..:)

Basically, all the "little" things that we make a big deal out of, really should be mild...That we should be thankful for the small things in our lives.  That we need to let go of selfishness, bitterness, anger, etc...
Yes, it is hard...We are all human, and we fight it daily.  Jesus didn't "sweat" the small stuff..He ended up rising against it all, and HE died for our sins.

I am probably one of the worst at "sweating" the small stuff....I worry about little things, a

An example is since I started this teaching job, I have been up at 3 and 4am during the week, with worrying/anxiety about teaching..It's not the kids, it's me..."Am I doing ok?  What if they are bored?" "Am I doing them justice?".....AGH..I drive myself nuts.
I am hoping in time it will get better...It has too, I can't be a zombie everyday!

Of course there is the whole fertility journey...No, I don't stay awake worrying about it, but it is in the back of my mind..Even with us taking a break for now, it's still hard, I will admit.  I am turning 36 this Friday, and it stings a little.

Our Pastor and his wife found out, that one of their couple friends, the wife was dx with a brain tumor and has till Christmas to live...That will put things in perspective for your life.

My friend from high school, is battling cancer, is married and has 3 kids..It almost brings me to my knees when I think about it, and how my heart aches for him to be healed. That will put things in perspective for your life....

Today's message was strong, and it hit me hard, on so many levels...Yes, we all have our battles, sins, and flaws.  I know I will try harder, even if I fail and stumble along the way...
