A Day with God

Ever since we became Christians I often feel as though I'm being touched by God on a daily basis. I get stressed out once in a while being a stay at home mom with a toddler as well as commitments working from home in design. Then pile on some dirty dishes, laundry that needs to be folded, messes all over and this week especially, I'm preparing for our trip to Chicago next week. Obviously - stress squeezes it's way into my days here and there. In the past it would be difficult for me to find an outlet, I would do some rigorous cleaning perhaps to take my mind of things. Since becoming closer to God, though, I feel as though my problems are often lifted. I may be overwhelmed for a minute if that and almost instantly God puts his hand on me and literally lifts the anxieties off of me and carries them for me. He brings such relief to me when I need it the most. Other times, I'm not sure how to explain this, but it's almost as if he's whispered to me. Not a conscious whisper that you hear but I guess it's like he signals to my brain a reminder that it's okay. It's okay that Addison doesn't want to eat her lunch and that the living room is a complete disaster. She'll eat when she's hungry and I have a whole day to pick up her toys and put clothes away. Then all at once a huge sigh of relief comes over me and I thank God his love for me.
