Created For Relationships

I have struggled with anxiety for most of my entire adult life and probably most of my childhood. There weren't clinical names for many mental illnesses back when I was a kid, and I never spoke up to express what I was feeling. Maybe I didn’t even realize what I was feeling, although I often felt like the odd one out. As I have gotten older, I realize we all sometimes feel like the odd one out. We are all hurting at one point or another, many just wear a mask to hide our feelings. Anxiety is often a daily struggle, and yes, I am under a doctor's care for it. While I am thankful for the help in managing it, I also know I would be lost in life without my faith. God’s peace is an experience that nothing can come close to. I also know God intended us for relationships, and I need to be a part of this world and help this world, the way God intended. While there are many days that I could be a hermit, God wants more for me and for you. Life can be scary, but Trust God, He is always there for you.

“Ye are the light of the world. A city set on a hill cannot be hid. Neither do men light a lamp, and put it under the bushel, but on the stand; and it shineth unto all that are in the house. Even so let your light shine before men; that they may see your good works, and glorify your Father who is in heaven.”

Matthew 5:14 NKJV
