"Worry-Free"

I don't know about you but I have a problem with worrying and it sometimes can control my life......lately I have been trying to instead of worry, just trust Jesus. There are many things to worry about in this world, and if I 'm not careful I can spend hours just sitting and worrying. I have come to realize that if I trust the Lord about the situation then I know everything will be ok. I want to share a personal experience story.......I am a senior at Bible College and I have struggled every year so far with my school bill. For my Freshman and Sophomore year I attended Atlantic Baptist Bible College. I struggled to pay my school bill. My dad did a lot of work to help me out but I still couldn't pay it off. The Spring Semester of my Sophomore year I was told that I might not be able to come back if I did not pay most of it off, so I worked that summer but knew I wasn't going to make enough so I began to look at my other options, I applied to Virgninia Baptist College and I was set to start there for my Junior year, I was pretty upset about having to leave Atlantic. I was leaving many friends and one very close friend behind. I was very unhappy with Virginia Baptist at first and I didn't let myself like it at all. I now had two school bills to pay and was not making enough money. It was during that semester after hearing of some wonderful news that I truly learned about what trusting Jesus was about. My dad had gone to Atlantic to talk to the president about him doing some work to help shave off some of my school bill( I just want to tell you now that my parents are so awesome, my dad is still to this day working extra so he can give me money for my current school bill and my mom is always there to encourage me!) back to the story......it turned out that there was a misunderstanding and they were upset that I hadn't come back there and they didn't understand why I didn't. My dad tried to explain, and the president told my dad that they did have some work he could do but they didn't have the money to buy the supplies he would need to do the repairs, so they gave my dad that wonderful news I was speaking of earlier. The Administration of Atlantic Baptist Bible College decided to erase my balance of $4,700.00. When my dad told me I was in tears, I was so relieved. I was so thankful to the Lord for what He had done for me. I couldn't believe it. I learned that day that I don't need to worry about anything, God can do anything! When I told my brother the news he said wow, God can do exceedingly abuntantly above all that we ask or think. We all worry, but if you sit back and think about it, what does it help? It only makes the situation worse. I learned that God is going to take care of me, I still have my days where I wonder if my current school bill will ever be paid off, or am I going to be able to graduate next May, but then I remember what He did for me with my previous school bill. "Is anything too hard for God, who's got a problem beyond His power to solve, are there situations He's not the master of, Is anything too hard for God?" If you took the time to read this, thanks and I hope it helps you and encourages you.
