Worry

I decided that this may be a two blog day since something really amazing happened to me this morning at church. Pastor Stu Hodges did a sermon on breaking free of worry and anxiety. Boy, did I need to hear that. I worry about so much stuff. Is my grass really dead, will A Tribe Called Quest get back together, will I lose my house/job, will my car break down, did I do a good job coaching the team, will my son be the nerd in school like myself, and assorted other things. But my main worry item is my daughter's cancer. It doesn't consume me like it used to before, but I still worry. A lot. Too much it seems. That's why my beard is gray like a 60 year old man. Anxiety!!! Will she have go back to chemo, or have radiation, will it grow, will it shrink, will it go away, will we have a long hospital stay, will she grow up, will she have late effects, and it goes on and on. It was good to know that even a pastor worries about some things as well. He did give me a list of things to try: 1. I will think like God says to think. 2. I will do what God says to do. 3. I will trust God with everything else. I'm going to give that a try and see if that helps.
I love my daughter and would trade places with her in a second if I could. I want her to grow up and be happy and make her husband buy her the purple car that she wants when she gets older. I'm looking forward to doing the Bad Boys 2 seen with someone on each of my daughter's first dates. No parent should have to lose their child like so many people that we know from CHKD. They all deserve to grow up. It breaks my heart.

I wondered about something last night at 230 in the am when my son wanted me to feed him and change his diaper. I wondered why he couldn't wait till later. Actually I thought about how I haven't done a better job of keeping in touch with people. There were some great people that were my friends in my numerous stops during my life. Weirton, Williamsburg, basic training/advanced training, and Charlotte are some of my destinations. I can't figure out how or why we lost touch. It might be because I smell funny or I owe them money. I'm still broke so you're not getting your money. I still owe ODU for loans and now I have 3 kids. I think I paid for at least 10 uniforms and helmets since I left. I need to do better with that in the future. I'm glad for facebook so I can get back in touch or keep in touch with those people. Two of them are the Banks Sisters, LeMaige, and Ladoris. I've added a couple of their websites that you can check out.
