that ball of stress in my stomach has been around a lot lately.
since i had sawyer.
when pat went back to work.
when rebekah went back to school.
getting ready for vacation.
coming back from vacation.
many, many moments of it.
i hate it.
why can't i just let things go?
i mean, i KNOW why. because i want to do things WELL.
but at what point does it cross from doing things WELL, to being a perfectionist.
i have a hard time figuring that out.
anyways, all that to say, that i've found myself quoting scripture and praying in my head A LOT today. and that ball of stress isn't there! i know, i know. not the first time i've learned that lesson.
and the ball of stress will probably be back in an hour.
but i'm enjoying it's absence for now.

Courtney, I am there with you. I haven't the stresses you have, but lately I have been a bit stressed over things... mostly Jasper has started screaming lately and Eli doesn't stop talking. I have a constant headache and I feel like I am yelling or raising my voice a lot lately. It is so annoying.
Reading that Mark of the Lions series has really helped me keep things in perspective. I hate the fact a book outside the bible did that and that the bible doesn't always have the same affect on me. But it is true. At least at this season in my life. And I am thankful God is using it loudly to speak to me....
The more I pray and talk to God the better it is... but I understand... and with Jasper screaming and not eating all of a sudden it is a bit nerve wrecking!
believing that,all will pass
And say those prayers out loud! There is so much power in verbalized Scripture...not just thinking it, but saying it!!! And yes, give yourself a break (i know, easier said than done...)
