A difficult day I had! A need to control and I had no control. People wanting to bless me and every fiber of my being screamed no. But yet God said in quiet, the answer is YES.
I called one friend and texted another. Prayer was needed! I’m pretty sure a panic attack was in the making. Feeling like I am going to crawl out of my skin. My heart is racing. I can’t breathe. I want to run and run fast away as far as I can go. I never want to stop running! Quite a bizarre feeling to say the least!
The advice from my friend on the phone…Breathe Karen! Take a deep breath in and breath out. Breathe out slowly. Just breathe Karen! One would never think you needed a friend to tell you to breathe. But when you are suffocating with life, that was exactly what I needed. I would literally find myself holding my breath! I needed to be reminded to breathe!
And then I was challenged by my friend and pastor’s wife…
when your heart is beating out of your chest, try praising God! Sacrificial praise she says!
Really??
