Pep Talk

I can do this. I can do this. I can do this.

*Breathe*

I just need to remember sometimes, I can do this. Life seems crazy. Work is crazy. I feel like everywhere I go there's a new fire I need to put out, and I have zero control over starting those fires, but I (feel like I) have complete responsibility with handling them.

Sometimes I just want to check out. Give up. Walk away. Pull the blinds and lock the doors, shut off my phone and internet so I can just retreat from the world to snuggle with my husband and my pup.

How did I get here? Why do people think I can handle this? I'm just one girl. One very weak, exhausted, overwhelmed, drained, stumbling, tired little girl. How is it even possible to make it through?

But then I remember, I am just a person, and the One who truly matters doesn't actually expect me to do anything at all. Because it's not really me who is doing or handling anything in the first place; it is Christ who lives in me. And together, we can do anything.

So, again, I can do this. I can do this. I can do this.

You are a great daughter, a wonderful wife, a perfect student, compassionate friend, and a good example to your sisters-in-law. I am sure you are the model employee and a refresshing smiling face with great comments in a pleasant voice to your clients.

Love you lots!

You can do it, that's why we love you so much! God already told me you could do it, that's why He brought you to my son. Love you!

Remember the verse "I can do ALL things through Christ who strengthens me!" Phil. 4:13. There is NOTHING that you and God can't handle. You may be "just one girl", but you a heart the size of Texas. The mess will be over soon, and then you will be able to "relax" a little bit,even in the middle of tax season. Hang in there!

Dad said...

Sorry about that, it's supposed to say "you HAVE a heart the size of Texas"
