STREEEESSSSS!

I hate stress, in fact I have so much of it lately I have to distract myself from thinking about it for my health. If I sit and think about stuff I seriously can start to feel my heartbeat quicken, I start to feel sick to my stomach and I get shooting migraine pains across my forehead. Worry, fear, doubt- all the little tools the devil uses come flooding in if I sit and think, that is why I have been so wanting to be busy as of lately- pretty much to distract myself and to keep me having Faith. I have to keep reminding myself that Life is good, I know that Heavenly Father knows me and loves me and will help us, not always in the easiest way but the best way, and to just keep working my hardest, doing what I can and most importantly being truly happy. My new favorite saying as of lately is "If the only problems you have deal with money, you don't have problems." So I am very glad that I have beautiful healthy children, an amazing husband, the gospel in my life, great family close by, and all the other amazing blessings that I can't seem to figure out how I've been so lucky to receive. So I just need to keep telling myself "just keep swimming, just keep swimming, swimming, swimming, just keep swimming. " And to fend off that mighty thick dark stress with the light.

    I'm sorry you are so stressed (((hugs))) It's so hard when you have young kids, Hubby in school, and all the rest of life going on. Hopefully some of your stress eases up.

    You and me both sister. Money is so tight for you, me & a lot of people I know right now. It's school, expensive gas, expensive food, expensive housing, etc... Please don't feel like you're alone. We can all struggle together! :) Just think, 1 year from now your husband, who has been working so hard, will be able to start a serious career. Pretty soon we won't even remember these "poor school days". We can take crap now because we both have nice futures ahead of us, all because we are lucky enough to have husbands who are working hard to make themselves marketable in the current economy. I've been listening to that Beatles remake of "Let it Be" by Brooke White like every day and when I get too stressed, I just start singing it in my head - "Let it be...Let it be". lol. You should definitely check that song out if you haven't heard it. It's beautiful. Anyways, I love you and I hope you feel better.

    I hear you! Man, it seams like money is on everyone's minds. Could it be because gas is $4.00 a gallon and we have to drive everywhere? My only advise for you is pay your tithing AND fast offerings and it will work out. Plus, I think that everyone feels like they could use more money. I think that even stinking rich people want more money.
