True daughters of Sarah

by

fear and anxiety

Unanxious and unintimidated.

These two words don’t necessarily describe me. I’d like them to. I’m working on it. I’m just not quite there yet.

I’ve spent far too much time feeling anxious. I hate even admitting that, but it’s the truth. My heart starts racing, sometimes my palms get a little sweaty. Thoughts start swirling around in my head and at times I begin to actually feel physically sick. A knot begins to form in my stomach. The skin around my neck and shoulder area gets all red and blotchy. Ugh. Just writing about it is making me feel anxious!

Think Sunrise

Yesterday morning the sunrise was amazing. My daughter noticed it right away and brought it to my attention. We tiptoed to the living room to look out the front window at the breathtaking display of orange, yellow, purple, blue and red that had painted itself against the sky. It was beautiful. We sat in silence for a minute, just her and I, taking it all in. I looked down at her, still just staring off into the distance. And then she  turned and uttered a few thoughts that I have been wrestling with ever since.

Treasure and Ponder

by

flickr-4161935408-hdThis morning was wonderful. I got up early, while everyone else was sleeping, put on some worship music, sat down with my bible in front of the Christmas tree, and enjoyed a steaming hot cup of tea.

I was reading the Christmas story in Luke chapter 2 and came upon a phrase that has seemed to always just kinda resonate with me and draw me in. The shepherds had come and found Mary and Joseph and the baby Jesus laying in the manger. They left telling everyone they met what the angels had said about the child. And all who heard the sheepherders were impressed. Then in verse 19 it says this “But Mary treasured up all these things and pondered them in her heart.”

Let Your Light Shine

by

Like most moms, I have spent this weekend loving on my kids a little more. Their sweet little faces have been cradled in my hands and I just can’t stop the hugs and kisses from pouring out.

 I went upstairs last night to tuck in my oldest son. The lights were out and I was trying to contain the emotions that were bubbling at the surface. My son asked me, “Mommy, did you just get out of the shower? Your face is all wet.” And suddenly the tears that I had been trying so hard to keep at bay came rushing out.  I shared with him the tragic events that took place in Connecticut on Friday morning. I tried to explain it in a way that a 9-year old mind could comprehend. But I found the task daunting as my own 35-year old mind struggles to make sense of it all.
