Trade in Worry for Joy :)

Just when I start to think that writing this blog is just me thinking out loud, keeping a record of day to day nonsense, someone mentions that they follow it, and that they get something out of it. I began this blog as a means of reaching out to women, like myself who are changing phases of life, stretching themselves, trying to learn new things, trying to figure out how they are meant to use their lives. We all have struggles, more than you might imagine. Rarely are lives perfect, even if they appear that way from the outside. We will have stops and starts. We will fail. We will have moments of joyful success. Some days our children will make us proud, some days they will scare us to death, and some nights they will keep us up with worry. We will struggle with making the right choices for them, and for ourselves. If we are not careful the choices, the worry, and even sometimes pride, will stand in the way of our experiencing the joy we are meant to enjoy with each day. Sometimes we just need to let go, and let God do his job. Lean in to him, acknowledge that you can't do it on your own, let him take that heavy burden you lug around all day. Have a day full of joy friend!
