Over the last couple months I have started to realize just how much my anxiety and stress over ALL the little things, is causing me to have such bad health issues. I've had to be put on anti-anxiety meds, depression meds, started going to the chiropractor, and just had to deal with really bad headaches. So lately I have really come to terms with said saying, "Today is today, tomorrow is tomorrow." It's time to let GO, and let GOD. For real this time!
I feel like I have been trying to let other people, medication, excuses fix me in some strange way that I can't even explain. I've been riddling myself with excuses of why things are happening to me, when under my own nose, I am the one that can fix all of it. I just need to 1). Start working out 2). Start giving everything I have over to my heavenly Father 3). Start taking ownership of myself. 4) Just start living!
* Once I got married, I think I let everything in life get in my way of having fun! I seriously can't relax, and just have fun! I used to be able to do it all the time! I think now it's going to be part of letting go. I need to realize, I do have purpose, I do matter, and people actually do care. I need to put my family first and realize that Justin and I are a family and having a child will not make us a family. Having a child will bring an addition to our family. I've been through a lot in my life, more so emotionally. But those things, don't make me who I am today. I am what I make of it.
So as of today, I have weened myself off my anti anxiety med's, handing it over to God and being thankful for what I have, I've been owning myself and decisions more, and feeling a sense of freedom. I'm thankful for the people who have stuck by my side and uplifted me. You know who you are!
*Loves

Love this and love you! Remember that God is the one who made you, knows you intimately and knows your future. Lean on Him in all circumstances. When you feel that anxiety come on (because it will still come on, it's a powerful tool Satan uses to distract us and bring us down), give it over to Him RIGHT AWAY. Take every thought captive (2 Cor 10:5)and continually give whatever you're feeling over to the Lord. Cling tighter and tighter to Him. Dive into His Word, learn how He made you, what He wants for your life, how wonderful you are because you are an image bearer of Christ. Remember, when God made man, He made him in HIS IMAGE and said it was "very good". You are very good and an amazing creation in Christ. Cling to the one who made you. He will change your perspective, He will give you peace instead of stress, and the enemy will have no hold on you! Love you girl!

ReplyDeleteAmbi, you are so strong - and you can get through it all with Him at the forefront. When the storm is blinding, He weathers and guides us through, but we still have to go through the storm.
ReplyDeleteI am so proud of you for taking things one day at a time. You are a super blessed woman and sister, and thank you for being such an example to me through your marriage, and life lessons, and for sharing them.
