Thankful Thursday - Follow Me

I'm still feeling scattered, but I'm trying to let any anxiety be a trigger to pray. I just keep going back to Jesus -- talking to Him, declaring my trust in Him, begging Him for peace of mind and heart. This morning, He spoke to me in an unexpected way. I was teaching a Level 1 VIP class, which always starts with a song. For this unit, the greeting song was "Follow me. We talk together. Follow me. We sing together. How are you today? Great!"  The "Follow Me" reminded me of when Jesus called His disciples. This thought led to a wonderful picture in my head of Jesus inviting me to come follow Him as we talk and sing together. It simplifies all the swirling thoughts in my head. 

JESUS, thank you for inviting me to come sing and talk with You. You've given me blessing upon blessing, and I'm grateful. Thank you for...
