Thank God I didn't throw a tantrum. :)

I woke this morning with still no hot water in the kitchen. :( I have been struggling with anxiety lately. I was feeling as though I might loose it. My husband comes into the kitchen to inform me that the bathroom drain was also frozen. No shower or bath today. My body has been super achy lately and I wanted to cry. I felt like I might panic. I didn't sleep well last night and that probably didn't help much.

I called a friend. We were both going crazy today. By the time I got off the phone I still felt stressed but I was in a better mood. She always makes me laugh and is so encouraging. Thank God for wonderful supportive friends.

So I was in the midst of my quiet time with God and I just felt like I needed to call my husband. I was worried that if the hot water has been frozen for over a week what if the pipe bursts. I started to worry again. I called him and I just asked him if we should consider calling a plumber? We talked for a little bit and finally he said "Honey, let me worry about it?" I paused for a minute and said ok. I let it go. God most certainly says this to us but sometimes I think he uses other people to do this for us as well. Today when my hubby said that I literally let it go. How funny. What a simple statement.

I was listening to KTIS, the christian radio station and she posed the question " Have you ever held a child while they are throwing a tantrum?" I thought to myself not yet, but I will. :) She proceeded to explain that when a child is having a tantrum their screaming, their arms & legs are flailing about, and then she asked " Do you think that God ever feels this way with us?" It really hit me. I reflect back to this morning and I was close to having a tantrum. However, the Lord worked through Don and spoke to my heart and told me to trust him. Thank God, I didn't throw a tantrum. It wouldn't have been pretty. :)
