When worrying only makes you weary
Before I begin rambling! HAPPY 19th MOJO!! I LOVE YOU <3 More happy days with you! :D
Ramble begins (not for the fainthearted):
Today marks the start of A Levels for me! Significant because the much dreaded Southeast Asia History is finally finally over!! If there isn't any understatement of the year made yet, here's one- I'm delighted! Contented! Happy!! :D
As much I as would like to think I'm in good hands regardless the outcome of the As, I guess I can't help feeling a tinge of nervousness and anxiety. Worry- everyone says not to, but who can really stop it from disturbing the most peaceful soul/mind?
Tossing in bed last night I really couldn't help but worry all the WHAT IFs. What if I argued out of point? What if I misinterpreted the question? What if I can't even comprehend the question? What if I can't remember all that I've learnt? What if I ran out of time? What if I can't even wake up in time for the paper? What if what if what if...?!
I take comfort that the beginning of a terrible traumatic experience will soon have an end. That all bad, or even good events, certainly do not immortal longings. Nothing is forever. Major exams. Student days. Friendship. Heartbreak. Life. Getting worried over nothing. Eternity is merely an illusion.
Take heart my friends who are suffering this seemingly interminable and painful period! The end is within reach! It's only arms-length away!! :D
Ramblings end! (See, even ramblings have to cease at some point in time)
"Therefore I tell you, do not worry about your life, what you will eat or drink; or about your body, what you will wear. Is not life more important than food, and the body more important than clothes? Look at the birds of the air; they do not sow or reap or store away in barns, and yet your heavenly Father feeds them. Are you not much more valuable than they? Who of you by worrying can add a single hour to his life?
"And why do you worry about clothes? See how the lilies of the field grow. They do not labor or spin. Yet I tell you that not even Solomon in all his splendor was dressed like one of these. If that is how God clothes the grass of the field, which is here today and tomorrow is thrown into the fire, will he not much more clothe you, O you of little faith? 31So do not worry, saying, 'What shall we eat?' or 'What shall we drink?' or 'What shall we wear?' For the pagans run after all these things, and your heavenly Father knows that you need them. But seek first his kingdom and his righteousness, and all these things will be given to you as well. Therefore do not worry about tomorrow, for tomorrow will worry about itself. Each day has enough trouble of its own.
Matthew 6:25-34
