My daughter and I share a genuine love for olives. She, however, likes black olives, and I like only green olives.
When I was a little girl, my dad and I would sit in front of the television, watch our favorite show, and eat olives right out of the jar. Many years later, I was shopping at a health food store and saw an entire olive bar! I was so overwhelmed with all the different kinds that I eventually left without buying any.
The choice was just too stressful.

Some people think worrying is normal and that God expects us to worry. If that is so, why does God say, “Do not worry about your life” (Matt. 6:25)? Some people, including those called by His name, must stop misinterpreting (at best) or perverting (at worst) God’s Word.
We hear people say they are not worried, yet they keep opening past wounds.

When fear hits our lives, we can do nothing but pray, and while God expects His children to be confident in Him in the midst of the storms, He equally desires them to rely on His steadfastness during those times of calm.
There will most definitely be, stages in our lives where there are no storms, nor crisis, and when there are, we are to trust and still rely on the same staying power of God that is revealed to us during those times of uncertainty and worry.
