What Can YOU Really Do?

In a world so big, each individual person is so very small. The average man or woman's basic day-to-day decisions for self or family barely compare to the decisions that are made for the sake of an entire country. Today, President Obama is facing his first international challenge with North Korea's launching of two short-range missiles this morning, and one threatening nuclear test, yesterday. Now the Obama Administration is suiting-up as the world watches the American response in expectancy.

So, what can we really do, as citizens of this country? Though another country is presently threatening the security of all of our families, we cook-out for Memorial Day, go to work and tend to our daily lives as if everything is fine. That's really all we can do...

And one more thing.

Since I was young, I've always been a worrier; I've been told it runs in my family. I used to cry when my parents left the house for work in the morning, scared that they wouldn't return to me. I used to think about death constantly, always wary of its approach; and this was as an elementary-aged child! Frustrated with my anxiety, my mom quickly gave me the key to curing my fears. It was something so beautifully simple that I have held onto it ever since: PRAYER.

There are so many things in this world that are so much bigger than us: life, death, genocide, wars, pandemics, and the list goes on. But there is one person that is bigger than all of the above. His name is God. So, with God as the true decision-maker, I can't really worry about what tomorrow will bring. I honestly don't know how some people do it, the whole "not-believing thing." I, personally, would be a hot mess without faith; I'd have worried myself to death by now!

But you know what? It's already gucci (lol, yeah I said it). Hopefully the Obama Administration is consulting with God on this one, because He has the answer and He already knows the outcome. We all just have to let go and let God have his way. Amen? Amen.
