Pushing Past Anxiety and Negativity
By Kelly
Life is precious and fragile and oh so beautiful. Sometimes I think we forget this as we go through our everyday crazy and chaotic lives somehow just going through the motions to make it to the next day. It’s hard to remember to be present, intentional and kind.
Sometimes I feel like I want want want but when I stop, pray, reflect, I realize I need to give give give and enjoy this life that God has put before me. As I am immersed in my second grade classroom day by day my perspective seems to shift as I see my students energy, carelessness, and utmost love for life radiate out of them. How have I gotten so anxious counting the minutes by until it’s time for bed so I can wake up and do it all again?
My second graders make me realize that we can’t take life too seriously! It’s beautiful and fragile and we just need to live to the fullest while we can. One day, any day, some thing could change... I know from experience that life and a normal day can flash before your eyes making it hard to see when a good day might come. But for one, God always helps push us through; never giving us something we cant handle. He surrounds us with people that make life more fun and honest and exciting.
Life is filled with people who care for us, love us, and only want the best for us. Even if they aren’t right in front of us, they are there. He gifts us with patience, tenderness and love. And never ceases to let us fall ALL the way down without picking us right back up.
