Matthew 6:31-34

-

As I am sure everyone knows by now, I often share things that I find on Pinterest. This is one of those posts. 
Towards the end of September one of the suggested pins that came up was for a month long journal project that involved scripture for the month of October. Since I have always been trying to read the Bible more, I figured this was a good place to start. So I printed out the page, which can be found here. The theme for October is the Promises of God.

I have been doing it every day and I am enjoying it. I do it every night before I go to bed and it is a great way to relax and unwind from electronics and the rest of the day. The verses from Monday's journal are from the gospel of Matthew chapter 6 verses 31-34.

31 Therefore do not be anxious, saying, ‘What shall we eat?’ or ‘What shall we drink?’ or ‘What shall we wear?’ 32 For the Gentiles seek all these things; and your heavenly Father knows that you need them all.33 But seek first his kingdom and his righteousness, and all these things shall be yours as well.34 “Therefore do not be anxious about tomorrow, for tomorrow will be anxious for itself. Let the day’s own trouble be sufficient for the day. (Revised Standard Version)

These verses reminded me that we don't need to constantly worry about what we are going to eat for the next meal or what we are going to wear. Because God has it all under control and that he will provide for us. And like it says in the last verse, "tomorrow will be anxious for itself." So we don't need to worry about what will happen in the future, because God will provide for us.

When we hear the word modesty, the first thing that comes to mind is clothing that covers everything or the majority of your body. Dressing modestly is something I have grown up with and have been around my entire life. And it can be considered a "hot topic" regarding what girls and women wear. Especially when it comes to places like schools and the workplace. But most people don't realize that modesty isn't just about what you wear; it is also about how you act around others and toward yourself.  Photo by Amanda Canas on Unsplash I am talking about this because I read an article on my Facebook feed the other day about a father who posted a picture with his two daughters in their homecoming dresses. And it was talking about his response to the people commenting on the style of the dresses. I don't remember the article's name, but I do know that it mentioned "girls to dress, so they don't distract boys," as well as saying that they are "aski...

--- 1 --- The other day I was feeling a bit bored so I made a couple covers for the story that I started working on. --- 2 --- A couple of weeks ago I was looking up pictures of the minons from "Despicable Me", don't remember why, but while I was scrolling down the page I came across this minion picture: --- 3 --- I found this on Pinterest a while back... --- 4 --- On Sunday we had to shovel snow off the driveway. It was really cold out and it made my stomach kind of hurt a little bit afterwards. The only bright side, besides being able to come inside and warm up, was getting hot chocolate. --- 5 --- Since I couldn't think of anything else to write for this one I decided to share the first couple sentences of what I have written so far of my story let me know how you like it :) Standing under the only low-lit street lamp Xiomara looked both ways at the quiet street lit only by the light of the street lamps. Sighing to herself...
