ANXIETY

I have been feeling insane amounts of anxiety and worry lately. I am usually the "don't worry about it" person in my family. My husband isn't very flexible so has major melt downs when things go awry. However, I think we may have switched roles. I have been feeling like I am running out of time, for what I am not sure. Some of my anxiety comes from having 3 kids and a husband who's schedules are daunting. I am constantly managing my little empire to ensure things are running like a well oiled machine. Let me tell you this takes work when you live in Hawaii and everyone else is on 'aloha" time and not moving very fast. Plus I am somewhat of a freak about my baby daughters sleep schedule because with out naps, I fight an uphill battle until bed time. However, I hate this feeling so I have been in constant prayer about how to deal with this feeling. My prayers were answered while reading my daily devotional a few days ago. It read "Planning for tomorrow is time well spent; worrying about tomorrow is time wasted. Sometimes it's difficult to tell the difference. Careful planning is thinking ahead about goals, steps, and schedules, and trusting in God's guidance. When done well, planning can help alleviate worry. Worriers, by contrast are consumed by fear and find it difficult to trust God. Don't let worries about tomorrow affect your relationship with God today. Matthew 6:34" (Life Application Daily Devotional on You Version App). This was reminder that I can't control every little part of my life, that's God's job. I can however have a plan. It's no surprise that when you have a plan and things go a little off track your better able to recover and cope. Get a plan and Give the rest to God!
