Last week, John called to give me some good news. Our Florida landlord apparently has several business ventures going on, and one of them is renting PODS-like units. He agreed to rent us one for the cost of a non-climate-controlled storage unit, and the one he is renting us is larger than the one John was looking at. AND he has air conditioning units that he can put into it. AND it will be stored in "our" backyard. Does it get any better than this? All of my worries (about storage anyway!) relieved in one simple transaction.
Why did I worry so much? God already had all of these problems worked out; I just needed to wait and see what His solutions were.
Do you worry? How do you deal with it?

I am a born worrier {not proud of that!!} but I really try not to worry. It's hard sometimes, but I believe that God is in control, He wants what is best for us - and therefore He will take care of everything. Even the itty-bitty things :)
So glad that the storage got resolved!
Aurie, I'm glad I'm not alone in the worrying thing, but it's not fun, is it?
Another worrier right here... I'm realizing (sometimes) like you, that God can have things all worked out before we even get there... but I'm still learning! :)
Hi Nikki, I am a new reader of your blog and have enjoyed it! I found it though other blogs I read. Just thought I would say Hi.
I worry about big picture stuff--like where we will be in ten years. I sometimes worry about the day to day stuff--like how I'm going to get everything done. Lately I been reminded of--"Be Still and know that I am God."
I am the WORSE worrier ever! When I was a young teenager it bordered on being paranoid that something bad was just waiting around the corner..morbid just a bit right? So I made a habit of just stopping and saying a small prayer about anything bothering me (sort of a little self-therapy you might say) and then trying to leave it to God to take care of the rest. Some of the things are little things that people would laugh at if they knew. But you know, it works for me. It's a continual reminder that worrying can't change anything, but having a line to God can give you peace in spite of that. It's a habit I plan to keep.
BTW, I have a friend who used a pod, and she loved it! I'm so happy God worked this out for you :)
