Worrying
'And which of you by being anxious can add a single hour to his span of life? '
Matthew 6:27
Dear Journey Family…
We all worry. It’s easy. It’s mundane. It shows that we care, right?
Or does it?
If it did so, the Lord would have encouraged it.
But He didn’t.
On the contrary, He encouraged us NOT to worry, even more, He called us not worry. Worrying shows our lack of faith. Or our dependance on ourselves rather than God. Our inclination towards control, when in actuality we don’t have much control at all really. He has the control, shouldn’t I just give it all to Him?
Shouldn’t we just ‘seek first His kingdom and righteousness’? But we struggle, daily, it’s not a big sin, is it? But it is. That is why Jesus in Matthew at the end of chapter 6 gives us something to remember daily:
' “Therefore do not be anxious about tomorrow, for tomorrow will be anxious for itself. Sufficient for the day is its own trouble.'

Cookies Exchange
Where Did Cookies Come From?
From Wikipedia (where else?):
Cookies appear to have their origins in 7th century AD Persia, shortly after the use of sugar became relatively common in the region. They spread to Europe through the Muslim conquest of Spain. By the 14th century, they were common in all levels of society throughout Europe, from royal cuisine to street vendors.[
What’s your favorite type of cookie?
Remember that registration is open for the WMCE (Women’s Ministry Cookies Exchange) on December 10th from 1 to 3 pm.
Please invite somebody that likes cookies, even if they don’t like cookies or don’t bring cookies, invite them anyway, there will be plenty for everyone!
