A treatise on anxiety:
This is the 15th move since I married the wanderer, the believer in all dreams. I have mastered the art of moving, often with husband and 7 kids in tow. I KNOW how to do this. But last week I woke up with a panic attack. Constricted chest that felt like an anvil had been placed on it. Painful breathing. Sweating and light headedness and feeling like I would faint. Hmmm...... my brain was telling my body that I just didn't have the wherewithall to do this again. When I realized what was happening I turned to the Lord in earnest prayer. Brian gave me a blessing. I thought of the many times the Lord has given me strength for the journey. I needed to know that I could recieve from Him physical strength for my 57 year old, badly treated body, and that I could recieve from Him emotional strength to do whatever I had to do in life. He answered my prayers and I have been just fine ever since those two days of struggle. Thanks to all those who offered a silent prayer in my behalf. And great thanks to my Jesus who upholds me in all good things and anwers my prayers of faith.

Thank heaven for priesthood blessings.
You are going to ROCK this move and you'll be in before you know it. I wish I could ditch the kids and get down there to help you.
