With you

{via}

As I write this, I am currently confined to the recliner, with my pandora on shuffle and an ice pack on my face. I think I look worse than I actually am. I didn't get into some crazy accident, I just got my wisdom teeth out.

Ouch.

It actually wasn't as bad as I had feared it would be. In my little anxiety plagued mind, I was just sure something was going to go terribly wrong. And it felt like no matter how much I talked and prayed about it, the little tugging in the pit of my stomach wouldn't go away. Even though that feeling is nothing new to me, it frustrates me because I know I have no reason to worry.

In those moments I have to remind myself that I am human. We all worry.

It's how we deal with it that counts.

He is with us and keeps us wherever we go. I had to remember that as I sat in the chair getting ready for them to put the IV in. He was with me in there.

He is with me when I am alone driving in my car.

He is with me when I am surrounded by people.

He is with me when I am feeling anxious.

He is with me when all of the worries I have bottled up inside come tumbling out.

He is there, holding my hand. He keeps me close to His heart. 

So dear friend, know this one thing: 

"I am with you and will keep you wherever you go." -Genesis 28:15
