The summer is coming to a close and the kids & I are starting to prepare for school... ordering uniforms, buying supplies, etc. It's also time for registration for soccer, dance, tennis, piano, you name it! Added to the other stresses that life brings (financial, home/living, work). Oh, and did I mention I'm registering for 3 more classes this semester?!
Well, with all that being said, at times my stress levels seem to sky rocket. It affects my eating, sleeping, demeanor, everything. When I feel the weight on my shoulders I constantly remind myself that these stresses are not for me to bare. I am to lay my fears and worries down at my Savior's feet. He will see me through my troubles and dispair.

MY LIGHT IN DARKNESS!!

We serve such an awesome God! He is always there for us when we need Him. Sometimes it gets hard..yes it does! But when I think about how He suffered for me to have peace and so that I can live in victory; I just have to stop and say, "What am I stressing about? God's got this!" He will never leave us or forsake us. He is our strength and our hope. He is everything we need! Thank you Lord, Thank you Lord, Thank you Lord! AMEN!!!!
