Thoughts Along the Journey

I started a job today, friends! I was so intimidated...still a little that way. I haven't worked for about 13 years, since I was pregnant with our first son.

Life seems bright, and the path seems clear. But every time I hit a bump in the road, I'm really not okay. My nerves get bad, so I can't sleep. Then my nerves are worse from lack of sleep. (Vicious cycle.) I worry, fret, stew...think of an adjective, I probably fit it. I have panic attacks. Life seems dark. Well, life has h...

Would like to ask all my bloggy friends to keep us in your prayers. THANKS!
