No Worries

The beginning of the year has come and another year of adventure starts. Nick has finished his 1st 6 weeks at his new job. As with anything, there has been challenges in the midst of change. We are looking forward to see where God is going to lead in the new school. Alia is again enjoying her school and students. This year has started so much smoother for her this year than last!!! We are truly blessed to have all that we have (marriage, family, friends, a place to live, food and work). It is so easy to go through the motions everyday and miss all that God has given us. So easy to complain over little things that we have no control over. Jesus says, "Who of you by worrying can add a single hour to his life?" (Matthew 6:27) and also concludes, "But seek first the kingdom and his righteousness, and all these things will be given to you as well.". I have to constantly remind myself that through difficult times. When we keep Jesus first in our lives and follow in His direction, any obstacle given to us will be superseded by His grace to overcome. We all have times of frustration and want the world to listen and help, but we must first speak to our Lord for He will show us His way. He will show us the fullness of life in times of pain, suffering, frustrations, busyness, etc. and He will always pull us through as He always has when we believe with our whole hearts and live faithfully through His Word.
