1 PETER 5:7
Eventually I ended up with two very full suitcases, a massive backpack, clothes sticking out of my violin case, and butterflies in my stomach. After flying from Spokane to Seattle, Seattle to San Francisco, San Francisco to Chicago, and finally, Chicago to Buffalo, I was royally in need of sleep. Sometimes the cheapest route is not always the most direct. As I navigated the endless streams of traffic in the airport and tried to stem the tide of tears that was threatening, I remembered the Bible verse that says, “Cast all your anxiety on him because he cares for you.” I tend to stress over details so I have to constantly remind myself that God is in control. I am nothing without Him and it is only by His strength that I made it through all the chaos and surprises of that trip.
