Dear worry,
I have been overwhelmed lately. Taking on everything and anything is kind of my specialty. My sweet husband reminded me that I don't need to stress, worry and freak out about everything that I can't do or don't do perfect. Mr. C is my rock! He told me something that was very profound. He said that the church is like a hospital. We are all sick and need to go to get better. Some people think they don't need to get better or they think that they are cured. The thing is, we will never be cured from our ailments. We always need treatment for the problems that we have. And as I thought about that, I realized that I will never be great and everything. And I am not sure why I think I could be. I can do some things really good and that I should let the rest of the other stuff go. The trails that we have in this life, aren't something that we have to face alone.
Now to switch gears, Miss June had her dance recital this week. She was so excited! Right before it started her teacher came to me and said she couldn't find her. So, I helped the search party and we found her hiding behind a desk. She told me that she was scared that she couldn't find me. I quickly told her that I was right there for her and there was nothing to be afraid of. She then knew she was okay and danced a great dance! Later that night I talked more to her about her being afraid. We talked about prayer and the things that we can do to not be afraid. We knelt down together and prayed that we could be comforted when we do get scared. I have opportunities to teach my children every day. And if I don't take the time to teach them, then that time is lost. I don't always seize those moments, but I pray that I can recognize when I should teach them.
This week I have relied on my family to teach me. I love them dearly.
Sincerely, Erin
