Stress... that is what is on my mind today. That and the whole "God doesn't give you more than you can handle" thing. That has really been bothering me... because I've certainly got way more on my plate right now than I can handle... starting with Captain DB. I don't think God had planned for him.

So I searched that quote and came up with this website... one of many. http://rickbeckman.org/bible-verse-that-says-god-will-never-give-us-more-than-we-can-handle/

And in this website I learned that maybe that isn't what God meant. And that made me feel better. Because the past couple weeks I have been telling myself that I had to handle this. I was going to be fine, despite my daily panic attacks and being unsuccessful in quitting smoking no matter how hard I try. And the weekly sobfest where I wonder if I'm a good Mother at all and if I am really doing right by Alivia.

Stress, stress, go away.
