Anxiety

I am now convinced that my purpose in life is to learn how not to succumb to anxiety. Not knowing what, where, how, when, why things will happen for/to my family is a huge struggle for me. I tend to be a person that likes to control what is going on in my life. Being married and being a mother are two things that have really taught me that I have no control over any thing. And yet it is still really hard for me to be in transition.
Devan had two interviews today. The first one wasn't what he was hoping for. The second one is offering very similar pay and benefits as the one in Vernal. He was told that he MAY be called back on Friday to schedule a second interview next week. This job is for Farr/Russel ice cream. He would be the representative for the company in the area we actually live in now. So now he needs to decide if he wants to do sales or be in the oil fields which are two very different truck driving jobs.
I do understand the importance of patience. I just don't know how to stop the anxiety from taking over my whole body.

  1. RTI have the same feeling's of Anxiety when I don't have control of things in my life. My biggest struggle is trusting that the lord knows what's best and having the faith that things will work out when they need to. I have found for me attending the temple is a great reassurance that my prayers will be answered where, and when they need to be. It still isn't easy though but have faith and things will happen how they are suppose to. Need to ever talk I have been in your shoes and would love to offer support where I can.
