When Life Happens

We as humans need. Need love. Need food. Need air. Need peace. Need their cars fixed =)
When life happens and the car needs a new exhaust system and when the kids need school supplies; I start to get anxious. I start to worry the $$$ will run dry. Then God reminds me of Philippians 4:4-8 (I've colored the words that are important to me). It's my life verse.
Life happens! So what? Life isn't perfect and sometimes doesn't happen the way we plan. I have to remind myself to just roll with it and be gentle in the process!

"Rejoice in the Lord always. I will say it again: Rejoice! Let your gentleness be evident to all. The Lord is near. 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 minds in Christ Jesus. Finally brothers, whatever is TRUE, whatever is NOBEL, whatever is RIGHT, whatever is PURE, whatever is LOVELY, whatever is ADMIRABLE-if anything is EXCELLENT or PRAISEWORTHY-think about such things."
