Do Not Be Anxious


“Therefore I tell you, do not be anxious about your life, what you will eat or what you will drink, nor about your body, what you will put on. Is not life more than food, and the body more than clothing?


Look at the birds of the air: they neither sow nor reap nor gather into barns, and yet your heavenly Father feeds them. Are you not of more value than they? And which of you by being anxious can add a single hour to his span of life?


And why are you anxious about clothing? Consider the lilies of the field, how they grow: they neither toil nor spin, yet I tell you, even Solomon in all his glory was not arrayed like one of these.
But if God so clothes the grass of the field, which today is alive and tomorrow is thrown into the oven, will he not much more clothe you, O you of little faith? Therefore do not be anxious, saying, ‘What shall we eat?’ or ‘What shall we drink?’ or ‘What shall we wear?’ For the Gentiles seek after all these things, and your heavenly Father knows that you need them all.

But seek first the kingdom of God and his righteousness, and all these things will be added to you. - Matthew 6:25-33

Spring has still not sprung:-(

Its April.
16th....
That's like 25 days since the first day of spring.....and it was snowing a couple days ago. How very sad. This should be the time of year when we put away the dreary winter coats and ( very nice) boots and pull out the colourful springish wardrobe. And yet, *sigh* yesterday morning I went to church with my hood up and my big warm mitts on. lol I love spring. It's soo happy. Spring is a reminder to me of how awesome God's creations really are. Amazing. Here are some pictures that have a "springy" feeling - even though I had to take them inside, because my real garden is still frozen. :-/

yes, I've started a blog

I've been wanting to start a blog for a while now - time however, wasn't on my side. Now its April (all be it a very cold april) and things have settled down a bit. I've just finished my auditions to university!! (gasp)
Anywhooooo - I'm hoping to put up some photos, and other fun stuff on this blog - lets hope I stick with this!

*Em*

The song below is one of my favourite S.G. songs. The words are so powerful.

How Awesome This Mystery



Lord, what moved Your heart to love lowly man
Before any star could herald Your praise?
And why did You come, abasing Yourself
Veiled in a robe of frail human clay?
Why would You, the pure, give Your life for the vile
The innocent seeking the guiltyTo be reconciled?

I can’t comprehend this fathomless love
I’m gripped and amazed at what You have done
Why would the adored become the despised
To bear all the furious wrath that was mine?
How Awesome This Mystery
Of Your fathomless love for me

Why would You adopt and take as Your own
Those who had crushed Your one precious Son?
Why mercy and grace towards Your enemies?
Your name they have cursed and Your throne they have shunned
Oh, how could You choose to show kindness to these?
The ones who would mock You and hate You
The ones just like me?
This Fathomless Love - Sovereign Grace Music -Words and music by Steve and Vikki Cook
