I did a big thing today. I asked my church to pray for me. Every week the pastor says, "Are there any prayer requests?" and then we pray over those things as a church. Today, I raised my hand and said that I'd been feeling a lot of anxiety. Of course, I started crying. But it was good to be prayed for, and it reminded me that I can trust God to take care of me.
Why was this a big deal? I dunno. I'm a major introvert and spend my 'life' inside my head, in my thoughts. But it's lonely in here and I realized I needed some PEOPLE, some fellowship with PEOPLE and with GOD.
Being a person-with-hermit-tendencies when you've got the HoHums in a daily way is not a 'good thing'. But, I'm seeing some light at the end of the tunnel.
Thank You God.

i totally hear you... and may i add, that my own in-my-headedness has led to more than one crying spell for me lately... thanks for the encouragement... "let us spur one another on...."
ReplyDeleteI was blinded by the broccoli growing out of my head and didn't read this. That's a really big step. I'm really proud of you that you took it.
ReplyDeleteMaybe I need to do that more often. I hate being messy, but I feel closer to God in the middle of it.
