As I am lying in my bed this morning, a little awake, but mostly still asleep, I hear a scream come from the living room. "MOMMA!!!! COME IN HERE!!!!!" I jump out of bed, about breaking my back, and sprint into the living room. All I can think is the worst. Is someone in the house?! Is the house on fire?! Brayden! Momma's coming! As I make the long 15 foot sprint into the room, I see him lying on the couch, pillow under his head and blanket over his little body. "What?! What is it, honey?!" I say a tiny bit out of breathe, which is extremely sad! "I'm hungry" he says, as nonchalantly as possible. Geez!
I get my over-anxious-oh-my-goodness-the-worst-is-about-to-happen-ness from my mom. She freaks out if you gasp about anything. How does one get over this?
Do not be anxious about anything, but in everything by prayer and supplication with thanksgiving let your requests be made known to God. And the peace of God, which surpasses all understanding, will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus. Philippians 4:6-7
I know prayer won't stop me from jumping up and thinking the worst when I hear one of my kids scream, but it will help ease my mind to know that we are being protected by our God.
On a side note: I was told last night that my boss/friend's car was stolen from her driveway Sunday morning. Luckily, her and her family were not harmed. I pray that they find peace and are protected during this trying time. Also, a regular at work who is really a great friend to my family, was injured in a fall Saturday night. I pray that she heals quickly.
