Perspective
The things I worry about... my weight money exercising car problems my house not being clean enough what I want to be when I grow up.Doesn't the Bible clearly tell us a few things about worry?In Philippians 4:6 we are commanded "Do not be anxious about anything, but...
Doubt
"And my God will meet all your needs according to his glorious riches in Christ Jesus." -Philippians 4:19 (NIV)Why do we let doubt even creep in to our minds?I wish I could say that the above verse is on my heart all of the time, but often times, I begin to worry...

Vacation?
