Fairbanks Park

Decided to visit Fairbanks Park today here in Terre Haute, Indiana as I wait to hear back about a position with Great Dane. The agency Aegis Worldwide hadn’t returned my call from yesterday letting them know I was here. Started to get a little anxious and so I had gone for a little walk to see what this park was like. The Wabash River borders one side and makes me think of Huckleberry Finn. It’s amazing how wide the river is. Must be pretty deep too as to how still it looks. The park itself is pretty big from what I can see from google maps.

Still Waiting for the Truck to Arrive

Not sure what is taking the truck so long to arrive. Think they were supposed to call when they’re close or something. Just wish at this point they’d at least give an idea or an update as to where they’re at.

Sunday is my 1st day at the new store with the same schedule from the last store. It’s a bigger store than my last and with a produce section, auto section, and bit more of a selection in similar areas. Area layout is a little confusing, but I’m sure it won’t take long to get used to.

Anxious, To Be Or Not To Be….

Mt. 6:31 – Therefore take no thought, saying, What shall we eat? or, What shall we drink? or, Where withal shall we be clothed?

Matthew, when writing this, recorded Jesus’s words at his Sermon on the Mount to his followers.

When feeling a controllable form of anxiety, we may have an excessive worry about the future, about things that may or may not happen. It is good to have some worry so that we may have a plan for the just in case, but when it goes beyond that to overtaking our mind, then we should take a moment. Normal concern is having an emergency savings for when extra costs come up or when work has to lay off workers due to the company closing a cashflow negative location or location change of a facility altogether as the case is sometimes. Preparing for such helps relieve stress on the mind and body. But continuing to worry about what hasn’t happened, even when prepared, brings down joy and happiness to you and those in your circle. Even in negative situations, there’s always a positive aspect, related or not, to be gleaned from what we’re going through.

Luke 10:41 shows how Jesus tried to help Martha not worry so much about what was going on, to just enjoy the moment that was happening. Luke 12: 29 – 31 helps us to see that as children of God, when we continue follow and seek His kingdom and Him, He will provide all that we need and more. As our spiritual Father, how could He not?

The promises made by Jehovah are given in love as we rely on Him as provider of all good things to His children and servants. My prayer is that I become more reliant on Jehovah as my provider, to know that as my heavenly Father, He will continue to give according to what my needs are, and that I will receive an overflow. Becoming more reliant on Him for my daily needs will prove to be more beneficial as I continue to grow, follow, and rely on Him in the footsteps of Jesus.
