I have been thinking about myself and my why. Why I I react the way I do, with worrying about things, even though I trust it will all work out. I guess I just get anxious through the process, until I am at the point of knowing.

I was so anxious about what the process of what it would look like to leave my job and return home to Seattle. My hours had been cut at the hospital, I couldn’t afford to rent a truck, plus I needed to get my car serviced to return home by driving my Hooptie Poopsie (a 2000 Ford Taurus Station Wagon.) I was so stressed, but at the same time I knew God would work it out. The minute I gave my notice at the hospital and where I lived, a huge weight was lifted off my shoulders. The next challenge was to determine what I could fit in my car to go home, that challenge was with me until I got in my car May 30, 2023…Then I hit the road and God freed me…I returned home safely.

I speak about Faith a lot and I feel Faith in my soul, so I cannot tell you where and why I become anxious when life becomes challenging. I worry when I know everything is going to work out.

I HAVE A PATTERN…

Shortly after I returned home, the landlords, (a couple) broke up and the wife decided that she wants to move back into the house. So now we have to move. Even though I know everything is going to work out, I became anxious. Here in Seattle, the cost of living is extremely high and rent is absolutely ridiculous. Plus, the expectation is to pay 1st, last and deposit…plus pet deposit and rent. Mind you, I just became an official staff member at my job after working as a contractor. So, I have not had an opportunity to settle into establishing a solid savings… so, again I found myself anxious even though I knew everything would work out.

So, I asked God to work things out where we would be able to afford without stress, that the living set up allows for us to have space and comfort, that I could continue to take the bus…I just prayed for a place where we could live with ease and not have to move for a while.

So, the hunt was on…turn down one, turn down two…with the third location, it really was perfect and the couple was warm and kind. I prayed and I did a lot of communication back and forth…we continued to look at places as back up…and then we were chosen to apply.

After clarification on both parts, we were chosen and we accepted. Everything about our new home is wonderful. And I’m so excited that I can continue to take my same bus.

God worked it all out for myself and my family.

I am so grateful 🙏

I want to pledge to myself that I will no longer WORRY. But I do think it is part of my makeup that I worry, stress, feel anxious when I don’t know the process…the strange thing is, I do trust that everything will work out. I always survive the challenges of life.

I don’t know, if I will ever stop this crazy process of stressing, I will have to say that since I have been home…I don’t go to extremes, like I did in Vegas…so I am handling the unknown of life challenges much better as we leave 2023.

I do love myself, trust my process and I am proud of how I am shifting in my 60’s.
