Isn't it amazing how one thing can change your life completely?  Taking a simple test in the career center about colleges and discovering the one you end up investing in; inviting a friend to a church group and their life becoming completely transformed; trying a cigarette once and somehow it turning into an addiction; fumbling with your cellphone and spinning off an icy cliff -- you're never able to walk again.

Our lives are fragile.  Every little decision and act is woven into an intricate scheme, and as we make so many decisions and partake in so many actions it's crazy how one thing can toss us in a dramatically new direction?

Are we people that can say, "I wish I'd never cared about checking my cellphone, if only I'd known," or "why did I even want to smoke?"

Or are we people who can say, "when I broke my legs I found who my real friends were, and most importantly, it was that action that brought me to Christ."  Acclaiming the good choices, "choosing that college allowed me to meet some of the most important people in my life, no dollar could ever buy the experience that I found."

So, perhaps you're thinking, "these are random examples, what on this green earth are you talking about!"

What I'm saying is what I previously said -- that we are truly fragile.  Our lives move so fast that our decisions often times happen before we can even process all the consequences.  But thankfully there is a greater plan.  Thankfully, God is the great redeemer.

Jesus told us not to worry, but Lord, that is so very hard when there are bills to pay or people sick.  Not worrying is a tall order, but when you think about how your life can and has changed, many of times that change dramatically spurred by one action, one begins to realize that worrying is just not worth it.  In fact, unless worrying can motivate a person to succeed on a given project or in a situation, worrying is almost always useless.  Let's face it, when it comes to life, there's only so much we can do, then it's God

It's that basic, yet it's so much easier said than done.  But then again, look at all the good things you have.  What of those things were brought about by worrying?
