Ah ight then, y'all don't worry 'bout tomorrow, on account a tomorrow's gonna have enough to worry 'bout when ye git to it.   Today's got enough trouble without ye worryin' 'bout tomorrow too. (Matthew 6:34, The Hillbilly Bible)


I'm a people watcher, y'all. I observe. I think all writers do that. Y'all know what I have observed to be the most consistent sin that folks do?  Worry. 

Some folks is so addicted to worryin',  that if they don't have nuthin' to worry 'bout they make some stuff up!  That goes back to our need to be in control.  Boy, are we human beans a bunch a control freaks.  We somehow think that worryin' is gonna change things. And it does change some stuff.

It changes how much hair ye got on our head. It changes your blood pressure. It changes our relationships fer the worse. It changes your purdy young face to a snarly, wrinkled ole sour puss.

That's the kinda stuff ye change with worryin'...not yer circumstances, dear heart.  As I live on, I reckon more and more that the stuff we call trials really would'n be trials at all if we'd just up and trust God.  Is that a revelation or did I just eat them turnip greens too late last night, y'all?

So don't worry none, dear heart. King Jesus has it all under control. Cain't nuthin' git to you that don't gotta go thew Him.

I have to admit, I am one who has to strive to turn things over to the Lord and let it go. I worry about this, that and the other. Especially when it comes to my children. I really have a difficult time with this even though I KNOW God is in control.
So...keep me in your prayers over this issue, I sure could use them.
Love and blessings to you and yours,
Deborah

Thank you so much for this blog, Mr. Hillbilly..!
I've always labeled myself as a worrier, a worrywart...
But mainly because I always had to watch my back growing up.

I want to share something with you and your readers that I consider to be personal, but something that I feel like I should get out because I need all of your opinions on this. I was almost literally walking on eggshells after two men who will remain anonymous pushed me almost to the brink of insanity and a complete mental breakdown. One of them is my ex-boyfriend, the other introduced me to his friend while pushing me away with his excuses. That friend I was introduced to, I believe that God used him in helping me get myself in check on day one, and the same friend is now my boyfriend. He's always telling me in my times of distress that I worry too much...but he doesn't ever say it in a way that condescends or hurts me. It's out of love (where he stands as far as being saved isn't completely known, although he has professed on several accounts to having prayed the prayer of salvation when he was young). My need to worry has drastically decreased since day one of meeting him.

I believe God's dealing with us both, but I need advice and maybe some confirmation if y'all can help? My mind's not in logic mode as much as it is in "Writing Article" mode.

Well, Christie, I reckon there's great wisdom in it when the Bible says to not be unequally yoked. That's real hard sometimes I know, but it only gits harder.  Bein' unequally yoked can lead to much heartache fer ye on down the line. Said a prayer fer wisdom fer ye.  -In Jesus, Steve

If he says he is & bears fruit as such& is able to say Christ is GOD in the flesh so be it.
     Take his word for it the rest is between he & the LORD.
Since you know you are& feel good in his company let the Lord take care of the rest & see where it leads.
You are a child of GOD first just remember to stay true to that & the rest should fall in place.

Just had to go & hook the 4 W drive to my big old stumbling block & put it on display for the world to see huh?

 Samuel Clemmons said the worst troubles he ever had was the ones he worried about & yet never happened!
Kinda makes Alford E Newman look like he knew what he was talking about huh?
WHAT ME WORRY?!
    I wonder if that was what Jacob wrasseld with? It's shore like that w/me & so unproductive.
