I know

I talk a lot about myself, and no it's not because I'm my biggest fan. I think I just have to get stuff out, otherwise it feels like its clogging me up and dragging me down. I've gone through a lot of things in my life and turns that could have been much worse. There are so many times that God has saved me that I know he must have plans for my life, so many people I know that had worse times than I did. Nothing I ever write is meant to take away from their pain and struggles in life, simply to express my own and possibly, maybe, help someone else before they get caught into the cycle that can be created so easily.

This is a verse my daughter memorized last year and I keep thinking about this so much....
For God hath not given us the spirit of fear; but of power, and of love, and of a sound mind.

When we let God in, we are loved and can love in return. When God is in control of our lives, we CAN wake up each day and smile about something. It has taken me time to get there, but I know that He controls all of my life and will let me lean upon him when I am starting to get that fear or panicky feeling. He can calm my worries after I bring them to him in prayer, and remind me that He is taking care of us all. There is so much that He can do and I'm still learning about it all and feeling amazed that He chose me.
