rest

there are a couple of "coping skills" i was given to handle my anxiety/panic attacks... signs i was given to recognize an attack before it blew into something completely huge.  therapists like acronyms, and i think they're easy to remember.  a common one is HALT - stop and think - are you hungry? anxious? lonely? tired?  any of these can increase the risk/onset of an attack.  

so i'm going to greenville to go dancing with friends tonight and i felt awful.  i have been running on less than 3 hours of sleep today, i've been stressed all week (for most of the semester in various areas of my life), and i'm surrounded by couples.  in a frustrated state i wanted to cry right then in the car.  instead all i could think/pray was "Jesus i need you"

i need to rest in the truth that my Jesus is enough.
He is enough.
He is enough.

and nothing i could ever do (or not do) could make Him love me any more or less.
nothing.
nothing.
