Feelings of anxiety and fear are natural human responses to our environment and the challenges it holds - none of us desire to be ruled by these emotions however and often times, we don’t have any control over how or when they express themselves: but we absolutely can control our response to them.
After a lifetime of battling severe anxiety; I’m learning to recognise when the scale begins to tip and choose to adjust my perspective!
As I’ve grown in my journey - both in motherhood and military life, I’ve realised that thriving in this life is all about the perspective we choose to live it from. The success of my day so often boils down to the balancing act between adventure, or anxiety … faith, or fear.
As an Army wife and mama to four; my life holds some unanticipated challenges and plenty of anxiety-inducing moments that I never planned for myself...
My faith in God is instrumental to my ability to re-centre and move forward through all those many heart-in-throat moments of Army wife life. Read my Faith vs Fear blog posts to find out how, In Him: I find my peace, my purpose and a plan for the future - no matter how chaotic my daily moments are!

To the busy wife and mama; when the church doesn't see you - it doesn't mean you're invisible!
Everyone has their heartache; their momentary trials and hardships and it's hard to lift our eyes off ourselves when we're in pain, to see who else might be suffering. The tangible, almost immediate attack of the enemy is to whisper darkness to your heart in an attempt to make you believe that you are alone, you are unworthy, you will not ever 'fit in' and you are destined for invisibility. Don't entertain these thoughts for a second!
