Just listen....listen how?
Just listen intently....listen intently is what I keep hearing over and over....
My head seems unable to rest the last few months. I am constantly thinking, planning, prioritizing, and worrying. Yes, I admit it, I worry. Too much. I thought I had gotten better at my worrying - when in reality I had not. Turns out my life was running fairly "smooth" therefore not much cause for worrying. Then one day - boom - you know the "boom" feeling right? Where you literally feel the weight of the world crashing down on and around you. Well, that is where I have been the last
BUT....I have complete hope and trust in the One who does. I know that in the midst of all that is going on, I can look to and call on the One for whom our hope is in. The only One who can calm the storm that seems to be raging around me. I know that only He can calm me. Only He can provide that lasting, sustaining peace that nothing and no one else can provide. So why do I even worry when I know the one who brings me peace? I do not know....I wish I knew. I wish I could skip the worry stage completely. I pray one day I will. For now I am just going to focus on the One who knows my worries and has only His best in mind for me and my family. I am trying to focus on just listening...listening intently to what His direction is.

Hi Jessica -
SavingsAngel helps families save money on their groceries. We appreciate military families and wish to do something special for them. Can you help us spread the word?
Please post the following:
During February, military families may start their VIP SavingsAngel membership for half off using one of these $10 discount codes: USARMY, USN, USMC, USAF, USCG
To learn more and claim this discount, go to: SavingsAngel.com/military
SavingsAngel.com is a veteran-owned company. Chief Executive Angel, Josh Elledge served his country during Desert Storm as a U.S. Navy journalist. Supporting servicemen and servicewomen and their families is an issue important to all of us here at SavingsAngel.
The best couponers save hundreds of dollars every month at the grocery store. However, couponers can end up living very extreme lifestyles to get those savings. For over six years, SavingsAngel.com has equalized the playing field – giving extreme savings to busy families who don’t have the time or ability to be an extreme couponer.
Each week, SavingsAngel.com’s team of angels combines over 2,000 products on sale at local grocery and drug stores with an enormous database of over 2,000 different manufacturer coupons. These combinations result in our members getting access to over 300 products each week for 50% off or better.
Our innovative Price Watcher is one of many benefits of membership. You get alerts by email when we find great deals at your favorite stores on products you use. Members simply log in, choose the deals they want, print or clip only the coupons they need, and save hundreds of dollars a month at regional and national stores.
Start today for only $10 after the special military discount for your first 4 weeks. That's just $2.50 a week for top-notch help cutting your grocery bill - helping you keep $200 to $400 in savings each month! Join thousands of other families who realize you can’t get this kind of help anywhere else, even for free.
I'm right there with ya. I've been dealing with the same thing for months--worrying and stressing. I needed this reminder, to just sit still and listen. Thank you
I'm going to be praying for you! As soon as I hit this enter button I will pray. It is SO difficult when we are planners to let the flexibility that we are suppose to have as military wives take over. I'm not sure when that becomes a part of our natural reflexes but I wish it would happen soon:) I find it refreshing to read your honesty and think that it's okay to post about the not so great moments. You have a strong faith and I know that you know God has got this! That should make it a lot easier right...the knowing. Our human nature fights so hard against the peace of that knowledge. I am so glad you shared because we do all go through these moments. It's nice to not feel alone in them.
