Philippians 4:6-7
New International Version (NIV)
6 Do not be anxious about anything, but in every situation, by prayer and petition, with thanksgiving, present your requests to God. 7 And the peace of God, which transcends all understanding, will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus
There are a lot of things about the gathering that I'm worried about. I have never been to a national gathering, only synod gatherings. I know they operate in similar ways but on a larger scale. I'm a little nervous about my placement and who will be at the hotel that I'm volunteering at. I hope that at least one group of people that I'm familiar with is there. But if not, it will all be fine.
I'm also worried about getting there and anxious to make my travel plans. It's a possibility that I may drive with a friend of a friend but it's all still up in the air. If you know me at all, you'll know that I'm a planner. I like to have everything worked out well in advance. I just keep reminding myself that I have to relax, pray and trust that everything will work out.
Sometimes, it's really hard to trust things that are happening out of my control. I'd rather figure out everything on my own but I know that God is always next to me, helping me plan. I like to think of him as a "behind the scenes" guy. He's always making sure that things run as smooth as possible. So! I guess that I'll make it through all of the worry. Prayer is key.
