Day 15: Bible Verse
I have a few different favorite Bible verses. One is from my favorite book of the Bible, Job.
Job 1:21b - The LORD gave, and the LORD has taken away; blessed be the name of the LORD!Another is from my other favorite book of the Bible, Philippians.
Philippians 1:6 - Being confident of this, that He who began a good work in you will carry it on to completion until the day of Christ Jesus.But the one that I most want to share is the one that is most relevant in my life right now.
Philippians 4:6-7 - Do not be anxious about anything, but in everything, by prayer and petition, with thanksgiving, present your requests to God. And the peace of God, which transcends all understanding, will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus.I am constantly worrying about the future. Graduation is less than 6 months away. Then I have to try to find a teaching job in this economy. And with several of my friends in long-term relationships, talking about marriage/planning their weddings, and knowing what goals I have in my life [getting married, adopting], I am anxious to begin that chapter of my life.
Which is difficult to do without a boy.
Unless you're Sue Sylvester.
But that's besides the point. I need to NOT be anxious about these things, because everything will work out according to His plan, but it's hard not to stress sometimes. So much easier said than done.

In the month leading up to and the months after my college graduation Philippians 4:6-7 was a huge encouragement. It's such a great reminder to lift up everything to God because He has it under control.
And about the "life plans" stuff...I've decided that if I'm 35 and not married, I am going to go ahead and adopt one or two kids. There are too many lonely kids out there to have scruples over being a single mom. So I guess I'm saying you don't always need a guy! :]
Philippians 4:6-7 is one of my favorites. It's hanging up in my bathroom in Athens so that I can see it in the mirror and while I'm in the shower. Lol. That is a CONSTANT reminder. I have a really hard time with giving up control to God and that always reminds me to.
