What's My Story
The worry wart
Helen Bowden
It makes alot of difference. I do not live the life i used to, i live a new life with Christ in it. I no longer try to fix everything myself, i go to God with all my promblems and in his time, not mine, they will be taken care of.FAITH!!!
Jesus had all ways been around in my life but I never truly knew who He was, so my life before I truly knew Jesus and truly found Him as my savior, I was the worry wart. I worried about everything, money, finances, family and my job and what ever else that crept up in my mind. Then one day all my worries came true, I lost my job of 10 years and with no money coming in for 2 months, all the bills started to pile up and the house was being foreclosed on and my worries was making me sick. But I still had a small pension form the job that I was trying to get, and then all my worries would be done and everything would be all right, So I thought. I got the call and was told that there was no pension for me at that time. I fell to my knees and cried to the Lord and asked Him why, oh why....and what I heard was "IN MY TIME NOT YOURS". With those words, a calming peace came over me and I gave all my worries to Him and never took them back. It was so hard at first, being the type of person I am, not to take it all up and to try to fix it my self, but FAITH, FAITH kept me in line and He has shown me every since all the things He can do and so many things He has done since.
I know have a new life, a new life with Jesus as my savior, and that Jesus died for me… for my sins. Knowing that my life here on Earth is a sleep over and my Father is waiting for me in Heaven, where I will have a life of eternity by his side.
When I became a believer, I gave up the earthly goods and started living for the righteous one. What I have here on Earth, does not compare to the inheritance I will have when I get to Heaven.
As the pastor was preaching about the resurrection of Christ and gave the opportunity to bring our troubles to the Lord ..I sat there with the same familiar feeling that I had through out my life , the one I had fought off so many times and this time it was so strong I could not push it away. I went and put all my burdens at the foot of the cross and I gave my life to the Jesus that night.
