Stress???
OK, all weekend I have been "stressed" thinking about an issue at work. It is driving me crazy, I didn't fall asleep last night until 2 am? I shared the issue with Eric this morning and he didn't think anything of it, or at least he didn't act interested. So, to try and get my mind off of things I recommeded Eric and I go Christmas shopping again this afternoon. We did and while sitting at Garfields over a tall cold glass of Water, I asked Eric why I care so much? And he replied that I wouldn't be me if I didn't, I responded by saying that wouldn't it just be easier if I "didn't care so much" He resonded sure but that wouldn't be you again? So, aswith everyone's life I believe that God only gives us as much as we can handle. And therefore he feels I can handle this. Like other challenges I have been faced with, I get stressed out during the process. Why is life so hard sometimes, I MUST continue to put things into perspective and know this to will pass allowing God to mold be into better person.

You are SO right!!!! I love this verse, and when I'm in the middle of a "STRESSED OUT" moment...I think of this.
Philippians 4:6-7
"Do not be anxious about anything, but in everything, by prayer and petition, with thanksgiving, present your requests to God. And the peace of God, which transcends all understanding, will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus."
Hi Amy. I am a mom at Denkmann. My name is Erin Hadden. We've talked a few times but have yet to really get to know you. I was looking at Lisa Wymer's blog and saw yours so I decided to link. After reading your blog, I realized we are fellow Christians. My husband and I are go to Calvary Church in Moline. I too thought of a verse that I have to say to myself quite often. I think we all struggle keeping a sound mind once in a while. Maybe it's just me. LoL. Well, I hope to see you around Denkmann. Happy Thanksgiving! :)
"I have not been given a spirit of fear but of peace, love, and a sound mind." -2 Tim. 1:7
