I know lately I've gotten away from using bible verses as titles, but I think we all need reminders of God's presence through our 
IF and His plans for us. I'm still dumbfounded that I would rather remain in ignorance of his plan, than to trust that his plan for Matt and I will be wonderful.
IF and His plans for us. I'm still dumbfounded that I would rather remain in ignorance of his plan, than to trust that his plan for Matt and I will be wonderful.We're all so human; blind to everything but our own suffering and pathetic plans. Any of our plans/dreams truly are pathetic compared to what He has in store for us, and yet we don't want to hand over control to Him, to TRUST COMPLETELY in HIM! I'm as guilt of this as anyone is.
Matthew 6:25-34 ~ Do Not Worry
25"Therefore I tell you, do not worry about your life, what you will eat or drink; or about your body, what you will wear. Is not life more important than food, and the body more important than clothes? 26Look at the birds of the air; they do not sow or reap or store away in barns, and yet your heavenly Father feeds them. Are you not much more valuable than they? 27Who of you by worrying can add a single hour to his life[a]?
28"And why do you worry about clothes? See how the lilies of the field grow. They do not labor or spin. 29Yet I tell you that not even Solomon in all his splendor was dressed like one of these. 30If that is how God clothes the grass of the field, which is here today and tomorrow is thrown into the fire, will he not much more clothe you, O you of little faith? 31So do not worry, saying, 'What shall we eat?' or 'What shall we drink?' or 'What shall we wear?' 32For the pagans run after all these things, and your heavenly Father knows that you need them. 33But seek first his kingdom and his righteousness, and all these things will be given to you as well. 34Therefore do not worry about tomorrow, for tomorrow will worry about itself. Each day has enough trouble of its own.

I once gave a sermon on this passage from matthew. More prayers and good thoughts for you both as you continue to wait for the biopsy results. Hope Matt is feeling somewhat better.
Beautiful. Really just beautiful. I love the photos that go along with the verses. And it's always great to have reminders about worry!
