Warrior not a worrier

Hello everyone.

I hope you're having a happy hump day. First things first, a small PSA: I'm going to (attempt) to do three blog posts a week on Monday, Wednesday, and Friday. We shall see how it goes lol. Today I thought I would do a post about worry. Being completely honest here, I am a worried; like I seriously worry about some very unfounded and very small things at times. 2018 has bought some changes; I started a healthy eating and exercise regimen (although tbh I have not been to the gym since last week but I have continued with healthy eating). I also have had a few medical things going on. That has been my biggest stressor. There have been days that I was just so fearful and worried that I kind of shut down and was very sad. I'm so blessed that I have so many people in my life that have been there for me and have been praying for me. My mom has been a huge cheerleader for me my whole life and this time has not been any different. She helps keep me grounded and tells me to talk to the Lord daily. That is another thing that has helped me. I'm learning to lean on the Lord daily and to realize that He has me in His grasp and He will never let me go. Did you know that God tells us not to be afraid over 80 times in the Bible? That's amazing! As humans, we have this natural reaction to be afraid and worried/anxious when we are forced to be taken out of our comfort zones and things happen that aren't great. When you know that you truly aren't in control then you HAVE TO rely on God. There are times when I feel on top of the world and like I have everything under control. But the truth is that even in those times, God is STILL in control of my life and everything in general. He does give us free will but He is ultimately the One who holds our days. Even as I write this, I feel better and better. I hope this helps any of you who have been struggling or struggle in general with worry/anxiety. I want to keep up with focusing on not worrying and surrendering my life to the Lord this year. I'll check in with y'all each month. I hope you have a great rest of your week and i'll talk to y'all on Friday!!! Love you all

Love and blessings,

Mariah xoxo
