Hello anxiety and 2am...

It's 2:30 am and I am wide awake.  Anxiety seems to be going around the blogosphere lately and it has hit at the Hauser house.

I've always had some issues with anxiety.  I get so nervous about all the unknowns in life.  I worry about everything.  I have no control over things and it drives me crazy.  I fret.  I feel sick.  I cannot sleep.

That is where I am tonight.

It started about me worrying about a work situation that has left me with a pit in my stomach.

It escalated into me worrying about my job, our finances, our health and health expenses, our parents health, baby boy's health, Doug's long commute to his work, providing for our baby, being a good mother, etc., etc.

It quickly got out of control.

I glanced at the clock... 2am.  I tried to go back to sleep, but it didn't work.

I thought I'd look at what was up on my phone - oh my trusty iPh.one.

I saw this...

Thank goodness for Fr. Larry.  "When I fear, I will trust in you." Psalm 56:3.  I needed to hear that.  I need to cast all my anxieties on Him.  He is the only one that can take any of this away right now.  I don't know why it is so hard to trust, to turn it over to Him, but it is.  

But I will try.  I'm heading back to bed and will pray and hopefully get a little more sleep before work.  

If you could all spare a prayer for me as well, I'd really appreciate it.

My new favorite thing

Doug has started reading to our baby boy.

It is something I always dreamed about. He is one great children's book reader. I have seen him captivate tons of little ones while he reads to them. He changes voices and is so animated. It is the sweetest thing -- ever.

Finally, it's our little one he is reading to. And I love it.
That would be my green belly.  :)
