I am not sure how I got to the point where I am at. It has to be God.

Last Year I was a stressed out wreck. I  gave things over to God, but I still worried. I worried and stressed about lots of little things, little things that didn't matter.  I've been seeing what has been happening at work lately and  am confused. Why am I not stressed out? When did I learn to let go and let God? When did I cast all my cares upon him? I don't know what changed, I have been trying to give my stress and worrying over to the Lord for more than a year, and so all of a sudden the Lord blessed me with peace when I wasn't even looking for it. I'm sure that it will still be a struggle and I will have to constantly remember to trust God. But OH, how I rejoice in the small accomplishments, the baby steps. Because that is how we change, one morning we don't wake up different, we make one small step at a time. So, rejoice in the small things. Don't worry, give it to God and when you feel called to do something, DO IT. NO excuses or explanations, and definitely NO REGRETS!!

Work has been hard lately. It is hard to do the same thing day in and day out and be content and feel like you are making a difference for the kingdom. But yesterday, for some unknown reason was different. I was reading an FYM blog, my main job is to read Blogs, and I just really felt like the Lord was telling me to pray for this girl. So instead of going on to the next blog I sat there with my head down on my desk and just prayed for her for like 10 minutes.

I've decided that the key to my job is to pray for the needs that these participants put on their blogs, to drench them in prayer. That is why I have been given that job, to minister to them both by reading what they are doing and encouraging them but by lifting them up to my wonderful heavenly father.

Pray for the stress to be removed from the rest of my team, and for us to be faithful to our jobs and to see how we are impacting the kingdom for good.
