a reminder (and a free printable!!)

i am a person who struggles daily with anxiety. among many other things, i worry about the safety of my family, the health of my husband, the health of my dog {i know...} and {most often} my own health. every little symptom is blown up in my mind and if i don't just blurt out my ridiculous thoughts i can convince myself i'm dying before noon. it really helps me to hear my overblown thoughts outloud {plus brandon is really good at reminding me that i'm healthy} but even more helpful are the reminders i get from Scripture. i pray that the Lord would wash a peace over me and calm my fears. a verse that i rely on daily is John 14:27. i need to remember that Christ promises peace. i also need to know that my heart {both emotionally and physically} needs not be troubled or afraid. Christ offers a peace unlike any other and i need not be anxious for anything. 

i created this printable to hang in my office at work and in my studio at home so that i could see the words before me every day. if you need this reminder in your life feel free to download & print this off!

just click on the image to see it full size, then right click & save it!

i hope this can be a sweet reminder to you that no matter what, your heart need not be troubled or afraid. have a great {and peaceful} weekend!

  5. Mmmm :) I love the print-out!

    I saw you at Mandipidy today and I'm so glad you tried out dying a polyester dress! I bought a polyester 1980's wedding dress from ebay that I wanted to shorten and dye, but I've been to scared! It doesn't have poofy sleever or anything, so I don't have to mess with fixing that, just shorten and dye! Now I'll try it! :)
