Advice from Pooh

When it was yesterday tomorrow was too big a day for me.
- Winnie the Pooh 

     All too often I get worked up about some crazy little thing.  I dwell on it until it has become bigger than me. Recently I left a job and now I am beginning to worry that I will not find the perfect job.  While this is most likely true that I will not find the perfect job I will find a job or the job will find me.

   Bobby Sue sent me a text the other night where she was very worried about the group she belongs to, the United Daughters of the Confederacy (UDC),  It is an American hereditary association of Southern women.  She worked very hard for a year to prove she was a daughter of the Civil War.  Once she was admitted she became the Historian almost right away.  This was a big honor for her.

     When I first moved to Mobile I was hired on at Daily Access Corporation as a Graphic Designer.  The very same day Sasha was hired and we quickly became friends.  I left the company about a year later not because I wanted to, but because of a cooperate wide layoff.

     Sasha and I have stayed in touch and stayed friends.  She bowls with Darrin and we hang out for Mardi Gras and such.  Sasha is getting married on April 6 in Fairhope.  I am making the wedding cake and Bobby Sue is doing the photography.

    Several events that are important to both Bobby Sue and I, and are taking place the very same day.  When we realized how this was going to effect our lives we both began to worry.  Bobby Sue was worried that she appears not committed to the group she worked so hard to join and I worried about the commitment that I had made to the Mustang Club to judge their car show.

     Desperately I searched for someone that could fill in for me and Bobby Sue sent a text to one of the leaders. It took a little while but I found Zeno to be willing to take my place and Bobby Sue got her answer back that people do have a life and it is ok.

     What seemed to be a big monster turned out to be nothing at all.  God has told us but we forget to pay attention to his word.

Matthew 6:34 - Therefore do not worry about tomorrow, for tomorrow will worry about itself. Each day has enough trouble of its own.
