Why worry?

I have to tell you that this weekend was awesome! The girls shopped til we were all about to drop, they went to see a movie, swam, relaxed in the hot tub, blared music and danced around the hotel room, had creamer and ice fights, ate pizza, cookie dough, chips, and candy, and well……at 2:30am I got a call from the front desk. They said that if they got one more complaint, we would have to leave. I had no idea! Every other year we have done this, my friend, who was the manager, who is obviously not the manager anymore, would get us two rooms and not put anyone on either side of us. Apparently it didn’t work out this year. Oh yeah, did I mention the hotel was full of out of town soccer teams that were in town for the tournaments. The hotel was packed and we didn’t get the run of the place. We had a hard time adjusting, but truly, they could have called when they got the first complaint. Anyway, the girls seemed to have a good time. They were totally exhausted when we got them home Saturday evening.
Thank you so much for you suggestions and encouragement. I ended up giving her money to shop with in the mall (good idea Tiffany!) I remembered that I had a few jewelry items that I got from Just Jewelry that she liked. I put the money card in one of the boxes. The mall had an American Cookie Factory, and so I got her a big “Happy Birthday” cookie. My BFF Jenny from Momminitup went on Saturday and picked up a handmade purse that Krisha said she liked when we were at the market last week. I am going to give that to her when we go out with family on Tuesday (her actual birthday.) Thanks Jenny J
My point of all this was to not only fill you in, but to remind you of something I have to remind myself of all the time. Why worry? I was worried about what I would get her and how all this would come together. Isn’t it funny that even when we know the truth, we still believe a lie? The truth is, worry is not from God. I certainly need to quit focusing on what I am going to get (or get someone else) and focus on the blessings I have. Lori, you were right; Krisha was my sweet blessing from my Heavenly Father 14 years ago.
Thank you, thank you, thank you Jesus!
Amen.
