I have to be honest.⁠ ⁠ I couldn't sleep hardl

I have to be honest.⁠
⁠
I couldn't sleep hardly at all last night.⁠
⁠
Maybe it was the knowledge that I have to leave the house for the first time since March 11.⁠
⁠
I think I was scared to leave my house.⁠
⁠
So, I thought and prayed and planned (creative content, because that never shuts off)⁠
⁠
I prayed for all of the people in my life that I know have been affected.⁠
⁠
I prayed for our family's safety today.⁠
⁠
I prayed that my husband has a job when he goes back to work tomorrow.⁠
⁠
I was also extremely grateful for all of the blessings that this #selfisolation has given us:⁠
⁠
- precious snuggles with my kids⁠
- teaching them lifeskills⁠
- watching art tutorials together⁠
- having more consistent family devotions⁠
- having my kids around to help me in my recovery⁠
- listening to praise music all day⁠
- connecting with family on group chat⁠
- more time to search for what God wants to teach us⁠
⁠
So, if you are struggling with anxious thoughts, I have a very fitting post (linked in bio) for how to cope with anxiety and fear.⁠
⁠
⁠

I thought it was fitting to share today's devotion

I thought it was fitting to share today's devotional from Brennan Manning's Ragamuffin Gospel, His Presence Found.⁠
⁠
"At this moment, many ordinary men and women just like you and me are being invited to enter into the rhythm of loss and gain.⁠
⁠
In each of our lives, there no doubt have been periods of fervor where we could almost touch the goodness of God. We have enjoyed various religious experience, precious securities for many of us, in which it was a joy to be in his presence.⁠
⁠
Perhaps all of this has changed now; we seem to have lost Christ, and we fear he might never return.⁠
⁠
But the gain is never far away. God's love and mercy are too great and too lasting to depend on the rise and fall of his frail creatures.⁠
⁠
Clouds may shroud our soul in darkness, but above them the sun shines brightly; God's mercy never fails.⁠
⁠
Those who grasp the real meaning of this truth find Christ in a new way. This experience marks the beginning of a richer life in which joy and peace flourish even in the darkness, because they are rooted not in superficial human feelings, be deep down in the dark certainty of faith that Jesus is always the same. ⁠
⁠
Happiness and sadness may play havoc with our emotions, but once we learn that God dwells in darkness beneath the shifting surfaces of our souls, we know that that is where we must go to find him. There we will find peace and silence, attentive to the God who never changes."⁠
⁠
Peace be with you today. ⁠

Most times what we see on the outside is not what

Most times what we see on the outside is not what is going on the inside.

As many of you know, I have struggled with anxiety for years.

It is debilitating at times but I have had to develop habits of coping.

Today on IG stories, I shared one of my tools from my toolkit that I have used on myself and while working with other people who struggle with anxiety.

I really believe that we have the capability to transform our mind and this tool can help you do that.

If you are struggling with recent anxiety because of what is going on in the world this tool will help you.
It will also help you if you have struggled with anxiety for years and have just started to put a label on it.

I am here for you if you have any questions or concerns or if you just want to talk.

As I am not very mobile due to my recent surgery I have more time on my hands as I know all of you are in the same isolating circumstance with the quarantine and social distancing protocols.

I also believe in the power of prayer so if you want to pop in a prayer request know that it will be prayed for immediately and ongoing.

🌱Tiny buds are prepared, they are getting ready

🌱Tiny buds are prepared, they are getting ready to appear.⁠
⁠
Beneath the frozen soil, there is life.⁠
⁠
While the world holds their corporate breath, the earth is getting ready to take a breath.⁠
⁠
It is as if we are in a freeze frame of time.⁠
⁠
But the living, breathing earth formed by our personal God will still send us a message.⁠
⁠
There is always hope. ⁠
⁠
⚘Where there is life, there is hope. ⁠
