Why does it always seem that one issue starts to resolve itself and another one pops up? Life is never just an easy ride. The daily trials are often piled on us in such a way we find it hard to deal with them. We tend to look at them as a unit and not individual issues. Taking one issue at a time makes them easier to work on a solution. Talking about our problems with a trusted family member or friend can help too.
Paperwork for mom, another family member’s health issues, work, and the house and on and on and on! It never ends. But I know God is with me and he has helped me see what I could not. I did not look at or handle things tin a healthy way. I worried and fretted and worried some more until my stomach was on fire and my head hurt from the stress.
God led me to people and things that made a difference. And what a difference! I now see how letting those things pile up was really stressing me. I just did not see it until my stomach and head became problems I needed to address. We put so much pressure on ourselves to be so in control of every big and little thing. How is that humanly possible?
Do yourself a favor and slow down and smell the roses, enjoy a good book, relax, call a friend, but just breathe. You deserve it and so do I!
