"Document the moments you feel most in love with yourself - what you’re wearing, who you’re around, what you’re doing.

27.05.17.

"Tired?" she asks. "No." I reply. I lie. Truth be told I'm exhausted. Everything feels especially heavy today. It's as if the weight of my problems is physically upon my shoulders, pushing me down further & further. I am tired. She can see it in my eyes. In my heart. But how do you tell someone everything feels too much to bear? How do you say "I just don't know how to push on today." So, a simple "no" does the trick, once again.

The Father’s heart and the bigger picture.

After so many weeks off of social media, I have forgotten how to blog. So many private posts, but nothing I really have a desire to share. There's just so many unprocessed "stuff" in my head.

Recently in life: Passed my OT boards & now a registered/licensed Occupational Therapist. Praise God that the crying and studying is over. (Well...maybe just the studying part.) Currently in life: Job searching (3 more months before loan grace period ends.) MEH. Figuring out what ministry looks like in this season, learning to steward well what's before me and dreaming about going on missions.

Feeling a little antsy and honestly a little bit stuck. (I guess it’s bad when you’re home too long to have all this time to think). I know I can’t be stuck when I’m still walking with Jesus...but in my heart I’m still processing why I feel this way. I also know I need to deal with these feelings. Self-awareness is hard.

As of now I have no idea what the future will look like, actually...in all honesty, I can’t even be sure of what the next month of my life will be like. So I keep reminding myself that faith is hope in the unseen -- not in what is seen. I've wrestled with really believing that there can be joy and beauty in uncertainty because I get to take little steps of faith that give me opportunities to please my Father. Which is a beautiful, yet super scary process.

This season is a combination of waiting, receiving, asking, and transitioning. But again and again if there’s a constant thing I can rest assured in, it’s I have Father who knows, who cares, and who continually points me back to Him. It's continuing this merging and balancing of a view of God who is yet so big and who has such grand plan and purpose for all humanity, yet cares so much individually and uniquely about the details in our lives.

Every morning and night this past week, he has given me this constant reminder: that although He loved me, died for me, and lives in me...this life isn't about me ( I know, DUH Grace!). But he so graciously and gently reminds me that it's not about the job I'll take, where I'll be sent, what my passions and dreams are, not even who I will marry. Those are really really good things that He wants to give, but I need to be reminded DAILY that He is BETTER than those things.  

So I am continually reminded that yes, I do matter, and yes, he cares about the little things. But he is also reminding me that more than that my life is an important thread being woven in this tapestry of a beautiful redemptive story of God calling his people back to himself. This reminder is so needed in order to place me in a position of worship and surrender. It places me in a place of deep longing for Holy Spirit to lead me because I know my heart is so prone to wander.

It’s such a simple reminder...but it’s a reminder I need over and over and over again.

Anxiety sucks ya'll. Some days I feel like I could run a marathon and rock out at a concert with thousands of people... Other days, I feel like I can't breathe. I feel like if I even leave my house to go get milk that the walls of the world would just close in on me. Today is one of those days. All I want to do is curl back up in my bed and sleep all day and cry when needed. But I'm trying to learn to not let the anxiety win. These feelings/fears/anxieties are all in my head and they are just Satan's way of trying to drag me down. They are irrational and not the truth. So instead, I'm taking some time this morning to read The Word and let it speak the truths into my life that I need right now. • I am worthy (Titus 5:3). • I am blessed (Philippians 4:19) • I am a daughter of The King (1 Peter 2:9-10) • He is enough (Lamentations 3:24) • These trials are temporary (Romans 5:3) "Beloved, do not be surprised at the fiery trial when it comes upon you to test you, as though something strange were happening to you." -1 Peter 4:12 #livingwithanxiety #thebiblespeaksthetruth #thetruthisnotintheworld #healthandfitness #itsnotjustphysical #itsmental #mentalhealth #satanwontwin #nottodaysatan #anxietysucks #butgodisgood #thatcoacherica #freedomsquadfitness

+110217+ I wish I could go to the fridge and devour this lovely arrangement sent by @an_ge_laa808 all the way from Ohio. It's so hard to get up, let alone roll over from one side to the other... so I have to wait until the rest of the family comes back from running errands for me since I can't even get out of bed. Thank you to everyone that has been checking up on baby Jenavy & I. She's definitely doing better than I am... but as any mother would have it... I'm glad I'm feeling all the pain versus her. I thought giving birth to Jeaven was hard... oh boy... nothing like yours and your baby's life on the line to make you think twice about what real birth pain is. #yupnomorekidsforus #husbandistraumatized #andpossiblycanthaveanymore #longstoryshort #uterusruptured #andthensome #butGodisgood #iamalive #sheisalive #thankyouLord

Sometimes, when life is really hard, the best thing you can do is sit in the sunshine with a couple of good dogs & watch your babies running around in the arena & roundpen. And corgi hair tuft pulling always helps too.... #sometimeslifesucks #butGodisgood

A visit to Harding University, day at the ice skating rink turned trip to the hospital for stitches, several days with old friends, a cancelled flight, a night with new friends, and an early flight later... We are finally on our way home. #mylife #itstoomuch #butGodisgood (at Little Rock Airport, Arkansas)
