Wild Thoughts

You know when there's just so much in your brain, it feels all wild? Like when you finally lay down to sleep at night and then your eyes immediately burst open as you think about the 20 million things capturing your thoughts?
It seems like this has been the case more often than not the last couple years. The "what if this" or "what if that" worry as the world fills our eyes, ears, and hearts with its negativity.
And if that isn't enough, there's likely a friend or family member adding to your anxiety because...well...we're all human and sinful by nature.
It's just all so exhausting, am I right?
So as I write this today - and knowing all the things going on in my own head as I laid down to sleep last night - I still write with Hope.
As Christians, we don't have to let those thoughts rule our life. We don't have to go to bed worrying as much because we know Who is in control and Who still wins this fight in the end.
I'm grateful on those heavy and "blah" days that I can slow down, talk with the Lord, and allow him to reassure me He's got this. And even if I forget to stop and talk to Him, I'm grateful He somehow makes sure to remind me He's still here to calm my fear...like when I take that walk outside and notice the beauty in the tree colors, or when I sit to sip my hot tea and feel His arms wrap around me.
No day is perfect and there will definitely be more difficult days ahead. But I'm resting each day knowing I am never alone and that as a Christian, I have eternal hope and happiness with Him one day.
