...you know,
when my brain is on overdrive
and I start to wonder about what I'm doing
and what motivates me
and where truth stands in my life.
I hate that I struggle with caring
what people think.
I worry and dwell and over-anyalze,
and next thing you know,
I'm all anxious and weird.
The reality is, it's my struggle.
And I deal with it daily.
But I heard something recently,
something that made me think.
"There are only two people
in this world
that you have to please:
God
and
your husband.
THAT'S IT."
- Dixie Chandler (My pastor's wife)
I'm trying to figure out
what this looks like.
I'm trying to stop worrying
and working myself up
over
every
single
little
thing.
So, I'm reading this verse
and praying for God's help.
"Therefore do not be anxious about tomorrow,
for tomorrow will be anxious for itself.
Sufficient for the day is its own trouble."
- Matthew 6:34
uh oh. Did you run out of your prescription for your crazy pills?! People see you as beautiful (inside and out), incredibly talented musically and artistically, and an amazing woman that serves the Lord with all her heart. Do not ever think anything else. Love you, i'll be praying for you!
ReplyDeleteDon't worry, my friend. I have found that you can't please everyone because everyone is different. Be happy, love yourself, and keep praying. Have a beautiful weekend.

Oh, I know exactly how you feel. But it's times like this when you learn exactly who you are. :) Have a great weekend!
ReplyDeleteAh I think we share a brain sometimes :) But I just want you to know that you are amazing and talented and awesome...even if with any little imperfections! And I love your pastor's wife's saying...that's great!
