a daily fight

                                                  does it get any cuter than that face?

 

 if that little girl doesn't win the cutest child ever award then i don't know who will. my favorite Lainey!

Its a rainy wednesday, my car wont start because it needs a new alternator, i've been sick as a dog the past 3 days, im drowning in schoolwork, there are a lot of activities this week with the youth kids, and i basically need to get a grip. and on top of that, i have this ridiculously unhealthy fear of tornados ever since this little incident a few months ago....

its a daily fight and struggle to not give in to fear and anxiety and a generally hopeless feeling of overwhelmedness. (i know, thats not a word.) today is not the day for a super spiritual post full of inspiring and thought provoking theological concepts. today its just a fight to keep functioning.

and why couldn't we just beat LSU? i mean losing in overtime by a field goal? seriously? another complaint to add to my list of problems.

you know how St. Francis of Assisi says to preach the gospel to yourself everyday, and if necessary use words? well today I need words, because the feeling of grace and love for the gospel is definitely not oozing out of everything i think and do.

so i will use words. these words:

My sin, not in part but the whole,
Is nailed to the cross, and I bear it no more,
Praise the Lord, praise the Lord, O my soul!
