January 14, 2024 Worry vs Wonder Ask yourself: On a scale of 1 to 5, how much pressure/stress are you facing most of the time? There is a powerful antidote to stress. It is called wonder. Think a minute about experiences that you have had that create wonder. What creates it for you? One thing for sure, worry obliterates/smashes!! wonder! What is a sure- re way to be stronger than your stress? You have to live every day with the understanding that you do not face any issue by yourself. God really wants to help you. He really wants you to talk to Him about it. One of the most awesome understandings about God is that when we really struggle, God is bigger than that struggle, and may let you go through it to try and help teach you how to trust that He will handle it, if you let Him. Trusting God does not ensure that you will have a life with no troubles; however, it ensures that you can get peace while going through them when you understand that “God’s got this!” Problems always exist. Jesus is always bigger than problems.

Here is a photo of a place that has given me wonder – Positano,Italy. John Steinbeck when he visited in 1953 wrote, “Positano bites deep. It is a dream place that isn’t quite real when you are there and becomes beckoningly real after you have gone.”
