I have a tendency to worry excessively. I've been indulging in this tendency too much during the past week. I worry about Zora's Dad-whether he will be in her life, and if so, to what extent? I worry about my 17 year old sisters future-whether or not she will graduate high school(with the way her grades look now its not likely) and what she'll do once she turns 18. But you know what I'm realizing?I'm worrying about things I have no control over. There is nothing that I can do to affect either of these situations. But what I CAN do is make sure that I am doing what's right and handling all of my responsibilities. My personal motto is the beginning of the serenity prayer:
"God give me the serenity to accept things which cannot be changed;
Give me courage to change things which must be changed;
And the wisdom to distinguish one from the other."
I've got to hold onto that now more than over and move forward, building a life for me and Zora.
