It seems like my mind is constantly filled with worry and anxiety. I don't like this about myself. And it's something I don't want to pass on to my kids, for sure. I remember as a small child, my mom would often remind me of Bible verses about not worrying, so this is not a new problem for me. It's something I have always struggled with.
Our world is kind of a mess these days though, and it's easy to become consumed by anxious thoughts. And let's just be real...taking care of 4 kids is a lot of work, and there is constantly something to be worried about. I feel like there is something wrong with at least one of them, at all times. Sickness, drama with friends, stress over school, struggle with basketball, ear infections...the list just goes on and on. And as a Momma, I just want to swoop in and fix it all...but I know I can't always do that. I know in my heart that God is in control, even when things feel out of control, but sometimes my mind just has a hard time catching up. I am working on praying, instead of worrying. It is an every day battle.
