Anxiety is Just a Thing

 I need to almost write two updates each day.

Mornings are hard for me before coffee. I'm tired and discouraged and life sucks. 

But, it feels like the work I do here on this journal in the mornings sets me up to have a better day. I WANT to dive into the word of God and so I'm doing it. 

Last night, I tried to talk to my husband about my current heightened anxiety/depression right now. He's heard it before, we've circled the same conversation, again and again, he'll do anything to help me. And, he's done everything to help me. 

Anxiety is just a thing. It's there. And, it's okay that it's there. 

Sometimes it's there less. Sometimes it's there more. 

I've just got to keep talking about it and acknowledging it and telling myself that this will pass. 

There will be less anxiety again. It's okay that there's a lot right now.

"For our momentary, light distress [this passing trouble] is producing for us an eternal weight of glory [a fullness] beyond all measure [surpassing all comparisons, a transcendent splendor and an endless blessedness]! So we look not at the things which are seen, but at the things which are unseen; for the things which are visible are temporal [just brief and fleeting], but the things which are invisible are everlasting and imperishable." - 2 Corinthians 4:17-18 AMP

it's okay,

P.S. As I publish this post, I feel a little lighter than I did before I opened it.
