Yesterday afternoon before counseling sessions began I met with a gentleman who is interested in joining our counseling team. He is known by our one counselor who is a retired licensed counselor. She recommended that I meet with him so I did. I was quite impressed. Our team will meet with him hopefully next week to ensure everyone is confirmed that God is the very one bringing about his participation with this ministry.

I mentioned in Monday’s entry about issues I needed to face. Tuesday I wrote that most of them were taken care of and God had answered prayer. The one issue most troubling to me has yet to be resolved and this morning I needed to face it and work through it with Jesus. It centers around a recent car purchase we made. Turns out the vehicle is not what we thought. I won’t go into all of the details, but when something like this comes about, I panic inside and beat myself up royally for being so “stupid”. I’ve talked to the dealership and they are looking for the “right” vehicle and we will then make all of this work.

This morning as I journaled to Jesus I had to surrender my fears/anxiety to Him. I thought I was old enough that I wouldn’t be doing these things anymore. But, here I am caught in what feels like a huge one once again. As I asked Jesus what He wanted me to know while I was journaling, He asked if I believe He is Lord of all? Of course, I do so He then asked if my Lord of all could handle this issue? Well, yes, if this were for someone else, I would already know this. But, for me–knowing how “stupid” I am, I had my eyes on me rather than Jesus.

At this moment of writing, I’m now praising Jesus for what He is doing and will do. Is my anxiety gone? Well, it wants to flare, but I keep reminding myself that my Lord of all is so much more than this issue. I smile as I write this for Jesus is my LORD OF ALL!
