STRESSED
I cannot tell you just how much is on my plate. I must make an affirmation that "I can do all things through Christ who strengthens me." I feel like I just want to just lay down and just hide under my blanket, but I just can’t. I have two boys who needs me. I have a husband who is mourning the sudden death of mother. And that is just the tip of the iceburg. I just feel so exhausted and overwhelmed.
…and I have a show in two weeks. That is the most positive thing in my life right now. I just hope that I don’t disappoint my trainer and workout partner. We started this together and hope to perform well.
So, in affirmation….. "The Lord is my Shepherd; I shall not want. He maketh me to lie down in green pastures: He leadeth me beside the still waters. He restoreth my soul: He leadeth me in the paths of righteousness for His name’ sake. Yeah though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I will fear no evil: For though art with me; Thy rod and thy staff, they comfort me. Thou preparest a table before me in the presence of mine enemies; Thou annointest my head with oil; My cup runneth over.
Surely goodness and mercy shall follow me all the days of my life and I will dwell in the House of the Lord forever.” Psalm 23
It is done. I affirm that the day is the Lord and He wants me to shine His light. I hope that this reaches you with the warmest thoughts.
Cheers

Well, if on the profile picture is you - I think you will not make your coach and workout partner or the family dissapointed - nevertheless where you will place. Placings is not important. Important is, that you did what your coach told you and you are satisfied with yourself. If so - you already won!

I know how you feel. I just lost one of my grandmothers and the other has terminal cancer. I had given up for a few weeks. Watching my grandmother fight the cancer has given me hope. You just can’t give up. If you just believe you can do anything. I wish you the best. Take care.

Life does provide challenges, but I found that God will always provide the strength you need to carry on. And like a blade tempered by fire, so too will you be a source of strength that can overcome all. Here in Iraq, death surrounds me, friends have been lost, and somedays are mentally exhausting. But every day you rise up means that God has a purpose for you…whether to be that beacon of light and strength for your family or to be an inspiration to those of us needing hope. You can move mountains with faith…my prayers and support to you!
