When I am stressed I shut down and when Josh is stressed he obsessives over the problem, analyzing again and again. Polar opposites, lol. Both end with sleepless nights. Josh is weary. I am weary.
It is times like these that I wish I had a deeper faith. Peace in the middle of complication. But I am also aware that it is in these moments that I can be sanctified. The choice to choose the way of the Holy Spirit, which is pure and fearless, confidant and humble, or the way of the world which relies only on our broken selves to solve all the problems. A way that surely leads to anxiousness and fear.
As of late, Emerson has been choosing to read the same devotion every night. It's somewhat comical because it's such a deep topic for someone who is only 3.
Maybe God had her chose this devotion so that Josh and I would read it over and over, every day.
It is easy for me to forget that the situation at hand is bigger than the situation at hand. "For we wrestle not against flesh and blood but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the dark world, against spiritual wickedness in high places." Eph. 6:12
Praying that Josh and I will not be chained to the sin of anxiousness and fear today. And also friends, that you won't be either.
