Coming to an End...Spring Break

Did ya miss me???? We are coming to an end of our Spring Break and we did absolutely nothing, but stay at home. Hopefully tomorrow we will be able to do something. Anyway, this week seems to have flown by. This week has really taught me a lesson about giving my worries/fears to the Lord. And what I mean by that is...Monday on the way to pick up the girls I had an anxiety attack. I have had them previously(I haven't had a BIG one in years) and some last a few seconds, minutes, but sometimes they last a couple of days to weeks. So, I figured that this would have been just a slight setback and Tuesday I would be fine...Nope, I was wrong. So, I have been battling my anxiety all week. Before I would let the worry really set in and it would take control...Not this time. I really believe that it is because I have grown closer to God over the past year or so and I am able to seek God through alot of prayer and speaking to some sisters in Christ (you know who I am talking about) have helped me put my fears/worries into perspective and helped me be able to give them to the Lord. Today I came to realize that I shouldn't fear/worry because God knows what he is doing. I was reading something our pastor gave me and it gave an example of a toddler going into a pool, first it is up to their knees, then to their chest, and still not fearing, then suddenly they slip, but their parent is right there to catch them. They didn't have to worry/fear because they knew that their parent was going to be there for them they have faith. I should have faith...God is ALWAYS and FOREVER be there for me. So, I should not worry or be scared because God has my life planned out for me. God is faithful...even when I feel alone or scared he is still there with me. God is in control.

Grace said something last night that really caught my attention. We were leaving Joe & Leah's before the storm hit. We didn't make it home before the rain, thunder and lightening. Grace looked at Izabelle and said "Don't be afraid God is with us"..."He is always with us". In the most sweetest and warming way. Grace didn't realize this, but her mommy needed that alittle more than her little sister. But how awesome is that a 5 year knows this and is able just to accept that in her little heart...Faith:)
I am not about to let this anxiety control me and my life...God is bigger and powerful. So, I will still continue to Praise God and I will continue to grow by God's word.

Our Spring Break wasn't a total letdown by any means. The girls had fun, they spent time with their Memaw and cousin B, mommy learned a lesson, and we still have this weekend before school/work starts again to have a little more fun.

Until Next Time...

God Bless...
