God`s grace is restoring my confidence to live and has removed much of the fear.When I pray for protection,he provides it in the most amazing ways.
I never get tired of asking for and receiving his miracles that come each day.
The most special times are when I thank Jesus for keeping the devil from hurting me anymore..

He has touched me and put smile back in my face. He let me see the bright side of everything. He made me see the blessings i cannot see then. I was more confident now in each day of my life as i continue to know Him more each day and being still letting Him be the God of my life:)

Last weekend, I had a family reunion in Memphis, which is about 5 hours away from where I live. My 5 month old daughter and my older sister had planned to drive up there together. My love and Lilly’s father, Christopher, had to work and could not go to the reunion. There have been very few nights over the past two years that he and I have spent nights apart. A few days before we left, I found myself becoming overwhelmed with the worst anxiety. What if something happened to him while I was gone? What if I could not get back fast enough? What would happen to our baby Lilly if anything happened? What about being on the busy highways during a holiday weekend, and what about crazy drivers and wrecks? So many worries filled my mind and began to make me physically sick. Two nights before we left, I had a meltdown late at night in bed before Christopher came home from work. I was trying to convince myself not to leave for this family reunion. I had this book I had not yet finished (or read in a while by the way) titled The Gift of Change. When I was in my earlier months of pregnancy, I read this book and it helped me become such a focused, spiritual person. I remembered this book and prayed for God to send me some type of answer as to how to get over this horrible anxiety. I got up, found the book, and decided that I would just open the book to any page and search for the answer God wanted me to see. I opened the book and was overwhelmed with the power of God. Right away it began to speak of soothing worried thoughts, knowing that God has a future for you and your family, and that he would take care of you. I read several other pages and became calm, happy, and thankful the Lord blessed me with comforting words as I had going through my meltdown. Lilly and I left two mornings after that, enjoyed the beautiful weather during the 5 hour drive, enjoyed the family I got to see and visit with, and especially enjoyed not being such a worry wart all weekend. God had built up so much confidence in me that I even decided to spend an extra night away from home just to prove my mind could handle it, knowing God would take care of me, Christopher, and our daughter.

I remember when I first realized that I was truly forgiven, that God held nothing against me. Grace allowed me to live.
