I am having trouble getting to sleep because of the excitement I feel about this new season in our lives. Everything feels fresh and more real...My relationship with Jesus and Patrick and the boys. Something has clicked in me about living life. Accepting the person that I am. Realizing the opportunities that God is bringing our way.
I have had some very vivid realizations in the last few days.
Probably the biggest is how Jesus brings peace and rest to our souls. I have struggled with an anxiety that has kept me from really being present in the life of our family. With whatever I would be doing, I would be thinking about what else needed to be done. And if I felt like I may not be able to do it all, I would become moody or even panicky. This translated to bringing a gray mood on to our family. And poor Patrick...I may get mad at him just because of it.
Praise God! He is helping me to conquer this.
Jesus said to his disciples and He still says to us today, "Peace I leave with you; my peace I give you. I do not give to you as the world gives. Do not let your hearts be troubled and do not be afraid." (John 14:27, NIV).
I am deciding to be more than a conqueror through Him who loved us (me). (Romans 8:37, NIV).
