See that step right there?

The second one from the ground?

That's my step now. I recently claimed it after deciding it is one of my favorite spots. :) I've spent almost every evening there for the past week.

I have so much to do. Summer is right around the corner, which means work is getting really busy. There are fundraisers and meetings for the school board, Sunday school lessons and choir music. There are bills due and for some reason my kitchen sink won't drain. I'm busy, and honestly, a little stressed. BUT, I don't think about that while I'm sitting here...

All I can think about is the sound of the wind blowing through the trees and how the water hits the shore. How the birds fly with complete abandon. And how the God of all creation...who made all of this...who feeds the birds and turns an acorn into a tree LOVES ME. How He cares about my problems and worries...and how He will provide.

He always provides. I forget that sometimes...but He keeps reminding me...and I am so grateful that He does.

“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? Look at the birds of the air; they do not sow or reap or store away in barns, and yet your heavenly Father feeds them. Are you not much more valuable than they? So do not worry, saying, ‘What shall we eat?’ or ‘What shall we drink?’ or ‘What shall we wear?’ For the pagans run after all these things, and your heavenly Father knows that you need them.But seek first his kingdom and his righteousness, and all these things will be given to you as well.

Matthew 6:25-26 & 31-33
