Delete?

I was thinking today about something in MY life that I need to delete:

I need to delete worry. I’m the idiot who hasn’t yet learned that God is going to take care of me. The junk I’ve faced that He has seen me through. I worry about this little dream of a congregation we have. It is like a third child to me and I want to protect it. I want to confront anyone who says or does anything that I think may hurt it, I want to secure the wonderful attitudes that have been like “floatees” keeping us above the water. I want to remind us that it is young and fragile.

I want to promt everyone that we are a church of forgiveness, a church of joy, a church of burden bearing, a church that adjusts come what may, but most of all a church of Christ. Striving to be like Christ. But if it is Christ’s, He will take care of us. Worry is wrong. I push it down and push it back and then it rears its ugly head again. It affects my relationship, my family, my weight, my preaching, my outlook, my confidence.

And I’ve got to remind myself that this church is bigger than me or any one person and that it is loving, forgiving...healthy.

So, I’ve shared now it’s your turn: What is there that you are wanting to delete from your life?
