worry
as a woman, i think it’s just in me to worry. i think, plan, come up with possible scenarios for everything. it can be so consuming. i know it’s fruitless. but it’s a hard thing not to do. and i think it all started really when i became a mom. those kids mean more to me than anything in this entire world and they are my responsibility! so you can see why the worry comes.
this morning i was reading in Philippians 4. Verse 4 is pretty well known, but it really struck me. My ESV version says, ” The Lord is at hand; do not be anxious about anything, but in everything by prayer and supplication with thanksgiving let your requests be known to God.” Don’t you love that Paul starts it off with irrefutable reasoning? Seriously, why worry- the Lord is near! And because He’s near, why not just tell Him what you are thinking, ask Him to handle it better than you ever could and trust His goodness & love for you.

feeling creative
I don’t know if it’s pregnancy or what, but I really want to make stuff and get stuff done! Last night I painted our entry off the garage. This week I am going to turn it into an organization center for our family. My oldest is starting kindergarten in 4 weeks and I know things are going to get hectic. So now is the time to create peace! Also, I really want to learn to applique and eventually embroider. So, today I am doing my first applique on some cute little onsies!! I am so excited. I will post pictures tomorrow- for good or bad! It’s going to be fun!!!

value of friendship
as I get older, I realize what a treasure friendship can be. it’s becoming a rare thing to find. and an interesting thing for me too is to help my son learn to find good friends and navigate those relationships. they just aren’t easy, no matter what age you are. but every once in a while, God gives you that person that you can be yourself with, let you hair down, say what’s on your mind and you don’t have the fear of being judged. i can honestly say i only have 3 of these people in my life and i count myself very lucky! and God is so faithful to bring these people into my life just when i needed them and in just the right way. what about you? are you being loved by these special people? are you being that person to someone else? as women, we need these relationships desperately! so, if you don’t have it, pray for one. seek it out. love others well.
