...and another thing the Lord is teaching me.

I'm much more valuable than I ever imagined...but I'm not near as important.

Anxiety

I've come to the conclusion that I have wasted too much energy regretting the past, both recent and distant. I have a capacity to cringe when I remember some dumb thing I said or did, whether it be 20 years ago or 20 minutes ago. It makes me tired and represents a lack of trust.

I've also come to the conclusion that I have wasted too much energy worrying about the future. A future that, by definition, hasn't happened yet! What's the point of that? Why worry about something that hasn't even happened?

I'm done with both.

My God offers forgiveness for the past and hope for the future. That is where I choose to rest.
