"I was the lion you do not remember who pushed the boat in which you lay,a child near death, so that it came to shore where a man sat, wakeful at midnight, to receive you." "Then it was you who wounded Aravis?" "It was I." "But what for?" "Child," said the Voice, "I am telling you your story, not hers. I tell no-one any story but his own ." "Who are you?" asked Shasta. "Myself," said the Voice, very deep and low so that the earth shook: and again "Myself," loud and clear and gay: then the third time"Myself," whispered so softly you could hardly
hear it, and yet it seemed to come from all round you as if the leaves rustled with it."

from The Horse and His Boy by C.S. Lewis

anxiety.

"you just got past liking guys that aren't good for you and now satan is going to make you stumble over finances??" - a friend.

so so true. my friend's words of truth combined with the ultimate truth from the master teacher brought me back to kingdom thinking:

"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?

...

but seek first his kingdom and his righteousness, and all these things will be given to you as well. do not worry about tomorrow, for tomorrow will worry about itself. each day has enough trouble of its own." - matthew 6:25-27, 33-34

i think a lot of things are "easier said than done." however, i think with anxiety and constant worrying about what i cannot control, the right thing can indeed be done.
