Golden Rule

Most of the time I wonder what lies ahead for me. I feel so inadequate in so many things.  Talented, I am not.  Brainy, I wish.  Perfomer, In my dream.  Doubting Thomas, that's me!?!

I wish I can be like my bestfriend, Anna.  She's smart, jolly and charismatic.  And, she -- can definitely sing.  But what I admire from her the most is her faith.  Her faith refulgent from within.  Tranquil is in her eyes.  Her words, kind and warm.  She says there are times she forgets to read the Bible, because of her work and family duties, but she makes up for it.  She and her husband + little Jana attend a Bible study every Wednesday. 

Anna's a believer -- (not a worrier like me). 

She doesn't condone my brattiness whenever I encounter contretemps with my connubial partner.  She tells me the wrongs I have done (not behind my back), make me REALLY realize my wrong deed  -- then, tells me how I could avoid it.  She shares the love and blessings with me (and with the others, too, of course) that she gets from Jesus.  Telling me, over and over and over, again to trust and believe in Jesus.  "Thy will be done.";  "Ask and you shall receive.", are some of her reminders.  She tells me to ask for contrition, pray for my wishes, read the Bible, and to trust in Jesus name.

I am a worrier --.  Primodial, I guess.  I worry about everything and anything -- still --sometimes.

But, In Jesus name, I surrender.

1 - hey! i was so surprised to read/learn that your best friend's name is anna too! im really beginning to think that we will hit this off together. know what im a lot like you and a lot like anna too. i used to be a worrier but i learned how to surrender to Jesus. i also write down my feelings like you do. if you have time pls. visit my blog and youll read there my frustrations. and like anna i sing too. at home only by the way. i probably will sing at family reunions and close friends’ gatherings. I also believe that ask Jesus and you shall receive, pray and you shall be heard, trust God and you shall have peace of mind. God bless you.
