Peace, Love, and Strength

I must say that today was an eventful day! I started the day off with yoga at 6:30 this morning. I've never attended an early morning yoga class so I decided to go ahead and give it a try. It was super refreshing and a wonderful start to the day. Although, my yoga instructor was "downward dog happy" today, I really enjoyed the relaxation and strength I felt afterwards.  For those of you that don't know what downward dog is, here is a picture:

Recently, since being engaged a lot of thoughts have gone through my mind. Randomly I've began to worry about things I didn't worry about prior to being engaged. I began to worry about things like, if I will be a good wife? will I be able to do the things my mother has done and continually does for my dad and family? Thoughts such as these have really taken over my mind and I took a moment to journal in my prayer journal today and asked God to help me with those areas. In my devotional time, God quickly reminded me that I need to trust Him and ask Him to give me strength. I share this with you all to say that, sometimes we think that if we have a plan or if we can figure something out mentally in our mind then we are content. However, true satisfaction and fulfillment comes in being able to trust God, the one who has the master plan, the one who knows all things, and the one who loves you more than anything. If you are feeling like I am feeling and have something that is on your mind constantly, don't let it consume your life. Find peace and strength in God.

Proverbs 16:33 States, "We may throw the dice, but the Lord determines how they fall." Allow God to be the decision maker in your life and change your worries into prayers.
