I am a worrier. I heard this song by Tim Timmons on the radio this morning and loved it! Good reminder to cast our cares upon the Lord. He is bigger than our circumstances and has a plan in mind that sometimes we don't understand.

Then I read his story behind the song - Wow!
"12 years ago I found out that I have incurable cancer and I still walk with it today. And, we can all agree that cancer is stupid, but the learning is, what if God is still at work in and through my cancer? What if He's still God and I'm not. So, the idea of casting my cares on a God that's bigger than I am has just been the overarching theme in my life since the whole journey with cancer. It's just saying, 'Okay, either you're God or you're not, either your good or you're not, you know when I'm struggling, and then, what's my response to you.' So, that kind of leads into the song 'Cast My Cares.' Another thing with the cancer, you know people want to make cancer my story and, what I'm learning is, cancer is not my story. The perspective through cancer is my story. That's kind of the difference. Like anybody's life, you know, the things that you've gone through in your life do not identify you, that is not your story. But it is the perspective through those things that's your story. So, I wrote a blog about 'the gift of cancer,' and the gift of cancer is perspective. The gift of any kind of struggle and pain is perspective."
