I also struggle with this. Some of it comes with the territory of being female...lol. Also from the fact that I'm a perfectionist...and over-achiever...and have a big heart and don't want those I love hurt or gone. This is really good. I also struggle with this.

It seems to me that our biggest strenghts can also be our greatest weaknesses. Worry is taking that gift of details and concern and taking it too far. I hear ya!

I started reading it saying "what do I worry about? Nothing!" But as I read, I realized the big thing I do worry about...my future wife!! lol might sound a little silly now, as I'm only 18; but my convictions on the matter are strict, and I'm not dating anyone now, or ever have...so consequently all that is pent up inside me, and I start to worry at times..."will God give me that right one? That girl, she's PERFECT! maybe I need to do something, just to make sure" But no, God has it all under control. Thanks Kristy! Yup, it does apply to me.

I especially loved all those versus at the end pointing to God's provision and handle on things...so comforting. It's true, worry can do nothing for us, we just have to keep reminding ourselves of that and keep reading God's word to allow it to penetrate our lives.

I fear being alone (who wants to be a missionaries wife?)" to which I replied, in my head of course, "ME!!". We are not missionaries as of yet, but it's just a testament to God's provision as we have just celebrated 7 years together (2 1/2 happily married). Hold on, let God bring her to you, and it will be awesome! By the way, how's your trachea? I prayed for you this morning and I was just wondering...

I am always worrying about what I look like, if I am skinny enough, if my pimples are noticeable, if a guy looks at me. I worry too much about that stuff but I used to have a boyfriend all the time. Since I broke up with my last one in April 2003, I haven't had another one. I'm always thinking its because I'm fat or got too many pimples. I weigh 113 pounds and wear a size three. There are times that i feel really fat. Last year I weighed 120 and wore a size 7. And i got more guys. <br /> <br /> But thats not the least of my worrys!! I'm always worrying about getting all A's in school. Its only the beginning of the semester and I asked my teacher my grade in his class and when he said I had a 79.95% B, I freaked out! I NEED TO STOP STRESSING MYSELF!<br /> <br /> And then theres my worrys about my relationship with God. I always repent of a sin and then go and do it again. I feel like God doesn't like me anymore and it really upsets me! I try to read my Bible as much as often but i'm always online! I need help! My best friend is moving to NORTH CAROLINA (i live in FL) and she has been my ride to church and I'm worried that i'm going to stop going to church! <br /> <br /> IF ANYBODY HAS ADVICE FOR ME PLEASE EMAIL ME @ NoleChick122@cs.com THANKS SO MUCH....<br /> <br /> Kelly I worry a lot.

No, I've never had a boyfriend. But yes, I do feel fat sometimes and I'm not. I wear a size 9 in Juniors. A size 6 in misses. I'm 5'7" and 133 lbs. I am an honors student, and right now I'm taking a college course in Biology for college credit. I'm only a Sophomore. Yet, I have the highest grade in the class. I have straight A's and maintain them throughout the year, never letting it drop to a B...if it did I'd go crazy. I want so badly to become Valedictorian, and I shouldn't worry because undoubtedly I probably will be if that is God's will. I want my future to be bright and thus I work hard now. I don't live for the now but for the future and so the now kind of is not so great. I'm not very happy. Anyway, I also know what it feels like to be alone...or feel that way even when we have God. If you'd like to talk to me about how you are feeling...feel free to e-mail me at tbyrd_2006@hotmail.com or IM me on AIM at TbyrdCountryGirl. Until then, take care and keep your chin up sweetie!

You know God wants you to go to Church and to get closer to him,and since he does, he will provide a way for you to keep going to Church and to have even more friends at your Church than you do now!!!<br /> <br /> I was worried than i was being pulled away from God by all my NoN-Christian friends for a LONG time, but then i started to pray about it and started to slowly hang out with more people in my Church, than at school. (AND BELIEVE ME, THAT wasnt EASY!) but i kept at it, and now I'm so, so, so much closer to Him!!! If you can go on retreats & stuff with your Youth Group or Church, it makes a HUGE differance in your life style once you find people who are going through the same exact thing!!!:) I worry about the same thing as you!!!(and I'm only in Middle School!)<br /> :)<br /> <br /> Through God ALL things are possible!!! Just Keep Believing, AND Praying!!!!!!!<br /> <br /> Luv Ya In Christ,<br /> ;D Janelle :D Hey Kelly!!!
