A good reminder

I have been having a lot of anxious thoughts and feeling very tense lately. I worry about a lot of things, and it comes out physically by having headaches and neck aches. I have a tendency to internalize things, and a big one is not spending enough time with the Lord in prayer. I notice at night I lay in bed and worry about Maddie or other things that I shouldn't be worried about. Sometimes I wonder how she will do certain things as she gets older, and look way to far ahead into her future. I do feel sad sometimes, but then I just have to remember to have faith. As I was doing my devotions today I read this, which was also the verse I had plastered all over the hospital walls. "Be still and know that I am God." Psalm 46:10


With all of this said, I would not change Maddie for who she is because she is perfect. My faith is constantly being tested and a good reminder that she is God's child and I am not in control, but HE is. I am still learning how to completely trust him and give all my worries and concerns to Him with EVERYTHING in my life. I have always found this to be hard. It is very tempting to fall into the pit of despair and worry, But a good reminder to "Be still and know that he is God."

I'll end with this..."I would have despaired unless I had believed that I would see the goodness of the Lord...Wait for the Lord; be strong, and let you heart take courage." (Psalm 27:13)

Thank you for letting me share my heart with you.
