worries about tomorrow

gabe and i decided to read the Bible all the way through together...which i thought was an excellent goal to have as a new married couple! when we were kids my mom made us "Bible reading charts" to track our progress, that is what we are going to use. i love reading with gabe because different things speak to me and him and we learn 2x as much about things we may not have caught before! here is a lil excerpt from todays read...

Matt 6:25, 27,31a, 32b, 33-34

"therefore I tell you, stop being perpetually uneasy (anxious and worried) about your life, what you shall eat or what you shall drink; or about your body, what you shall put on. is not life greater [in quality] than food, and the body [far above and more excellent] than clothing?"

"and who of you by worrying and being anxious can add one unit of measure to his stature or to the span of his life?"

"therefore do not worry and be anxious [...] your heavenly Father knows well what you need."

"but seek (aim and strive after) FIRST His kingdom and righteousness, and then all these things [speaking of food, clothes ect] taken together will be given you besides."

"so do not worry or be anxious about tomorrow, for tomorrow will have worries and anxieties of its own. sufficient for each day is its own trouble."

saturdays...are everyday

gabe and I have the perfect couple song... when we started dating 3 years ago... this is the song we picked... i just love it!

Lyrics to Hallelujah~ by Teddy Gieger 

You're the girl in the back of the room
My wallflower that's in bloom
You're so oblivious to this
I could fall into those eyes 
Pretty circles that I try to escape into, yeah
Well hallelujah when you look at me
And hallelujah you're the halo over me
And you're all that I need

With you, every day is Saturday
With you, Every word you say is like a song
With you well, everything is obvious
Hallelujah, hallelujah
Well I found you, I found you
I found you, Hallelujah

I never thought I'd take that jump
A nervous laugh around someone
I'm sleeping in the palm of your hand
The way you whisper on the phone
I hear your voice when I'm alone
Cause you always understand just who I am

And hallelujah your love is free
And hallelujah you're the halo over me
And you're all that I need

The best things are unexpected just like this
Like a billboard in the sky you just can't miss
And I'm never letting this love go
Hallelujah, hallelujah
