G-R-A-C-E

I woke up this morning feeling panicky. Is that how you spell that?

Yeah, I was panicky. I hate that feeling. Because that feeling is usually the side-effect of other negative things. I decided to not be like I normally am (kick it to the side and trudge on), and made a list of the things in my life that were making me feel this way. There were many, and after taking a good look, I thought to myself, "Well no wonder my joy is being squelched! GOSH!"

The list included things like:
2 Big time job interviews coming up (one is tomorrow).
Living paycheck to paycheck (but always making it!)
Exhaustion
Homesickness
Lonliness
Not enough time in prayer and the Word ( I need a lot!)
And the list goes on....

Looking at the list wasn't actually that depressing. At least it got things out in the open, haha! Felt pretty good. Then I remembered that
His yoke is easy, His burden is light

And I released it.
Yes, just like that.

Asking God to give you the grace to deal with things is so easy. So freeing, so..... right. And he deals with things way better than we do.

What a friend we have in Jesus. :)
