I took the day off yesterday to reflect on all that has happened to me and to our country. There is definitely a spirit of depression and anxiety hovering over us. No, it's not the usual anxiety that always manages to hover during a Presidential election year. All of us have experienced that to one degree or another. This is different and scary. I know I sometimes have a tendency to make things seem harder or scarier than they actually are. That's why I need to take life one day at a time. Once I do that, then I can begin to see that there is a light at the end of this increasingly dark tunnel that this whole country seems to be in now. I can't voice or write what I sense upon my heart as to why I feel this country is in a dark tunnel or what I shudder even now to think about what may happen if things continue down this dark path.
I can tell myself that it will be okay. I can push myself to do something, yet as I reflect on what I have done in the past that brought me and this country to the state where it is today...I wonder if I should step back and analyze what I've done before moving forward. Hence the mantra of taking life one day at a time instead of planning huge blocks of time thinking that everything will fall into place. Something like an outline or a framework that would stabilize me and make me feel secure would be my first step. The Lord is my anchor and my framework....on his foundation I do stand. I will take the scripture that says: "Don't worry about tomorrow.", but will also plan reasonably for what I want to accomplish in this life.
