Mmmkay…background story….I was a worrier once.  Yep…a worrier…I definitely don’t mean warrior!  I used to worry about EVERYTHING.  In fact, if I wasn’t thinking or worrying about something, I was afraid that I was forgetting something.  I was your classic “worry wart”…and my case was ugly!  Terrible, I know, and I’m glad that I allowed God to deliver me from it.  I say ‘allowed’ because often, we hold on to stuff that God took from us long ago.  It’s when we voluntarily give it up and let Him do a work in us that we are able to move past it.

Over the course of the past few weeks, different things have transpired in my life and God is showing me how to deal with them and what to get ready for.  Today, as I sat at my desk, I begin to think about stuff….you know….STUFF….how it’s gonna work out; when it’s gonna happen; how will I handle it?; can I REALLY handle it?; did I really hear God say what I actually heard God say???  As I’m sitting there, my heart started beating kinda fast and I started to take deep breaths.  Now, remember, I don’t do this “worrying” thing anymore.  I mean, of course I
