Threes

They say bad things come in threes. Whoever "they" are, they need to stop.

 But this week that's true for me. Thursday, I had one kid at urgent care, Friday I was in the ER with another, and today a misfiring vehicle. All while having a baby in the NICU, 3 boys in football, a daughter in Cheer, and a husband who is a volunteer firefighter, as well as an EMT in two different counties. Sometimes life just life's way too much for this ole girl. 

I tend to get in my head when things I can't control happen. My anxiety tries to get the best of me. But this is just one of those things, I have to grin and get through it. It seems as if I'm having to do that a lot lately. I'm a person who doesn't like change, I like to have a routine. I CANNOT fly by the seat of my pants through life. But sometimes... sometimes it's necessary.

Its hard not to hear what the enemy is shouting in times like this. But we have to continue to hear God's whispering. 

Cast all your anxiety on him because he cares for you. 1 Peter 5:7

This was the first bible verse my son, Chase, memorized. It's probably his favorite one. And I wonder why and how he's such a carefree, unbothered, go with the flow kind of kid. He's doing as God instructed us to do, what I can't seem to do sometimes. Cast all my worries onto the one who can carry them when it all feels too heavy. Today, I've decided to be more like Chase. I'm casting all my worries onto the one that cares the most for me.
