Keep

Keep my heart safe when I fall. 
Keep my heart safe when I try. 
Keep my heart safe when I'm anxious.
Keep my heart safe when I'm confused.
Keep my heart safe when I don't have words.
Keep my heart safe when I'm honest, even painfully so. 
Keep my heart safe when I'm exhausted. 
Keep my heart safe when You feel far away. 

Help me to love more.
To trust more. 
To know that I'm loved.
To extend that love to those around me.

Thank you for my life.
Thank you for Your blessings.
Thank you for the mud and mire.

Be with me.

Out of the Overflow...

My heart is full today! My week was a bit rough, but I was definitely less anxious this week, which makes a huge difference day to day. I'm so thankful to see this latest cycle of panic start to dwindle. Hoping it ends completely and soon! I have big plans that are not compatible with anxiousness!  

Last night I went out with some work friends. I can't remember the last time I laughed so much-- even to the point of tears! Of course, I'm not sure that people sitting next to us appreciated our veterinary medicine talk-- which can get a little crazy. It was fun! 

Maybe I live a life where I need to have struggles to truly appreciate all the goodness there is. And there is definitely a lot of goodness in my life.
