Have you ever thought about the difference in those two phrases?
Just one little letter….an f or an s?
Which do you think about?
What if?
What if the moon dropped on my house?
What if the kids got really sick?
What if my husband left?
What if I stopped homeschooling?
OR
What is…..
(reality, that is!)
My husband loves me.
My kids are great.
My life is full.
My house is blessed.
My 8 year old and I have talked a lot about What if and What is lately. He’ll sometimes ask me at night…
"Mom, what if I never go to sleep?"
"What if God really isn’t there?"
Deep questions.
"What if" questions.
So I thought about how many times I think about "what if?"
Yuck.
I’m sure God would rather me think about what is than what if.
What if just takes us nowhere, leads down a dark path, makes us worry.
That is unless you are trying to change the world. Then "what if" really works, doesn’t it?
Pondering life…
That's a great post! I need the reminder of what is. I just got caught up on your blog. Oh, and I'm so pumped that ya'll are staying put. Can't wait to be filled in on everything. What time on Monday are you keeping Lisa's kids? I could maybe come late morning through early afternoon. I start a tutoring gig that day at 3:30. Oh, and I'm going to be back at WMBS this semester! I'm so excited. Please tell me you'll be there.
Can't wait to catch up! MV
