LOST IN THE LABELS

There are so many people living in #fear currently. In addition to the pandemic that we're only beginning to come out of, there are the usual scary events that happen in our world that cause us to worry about our safety and our future. This week has been a challenging week for many reasons. In addition to losing a friend to suicide, there was also a mass shooting in Boulder, Colorado at a grocery store. I can't help but feel like our world is hurting, angry and losing touch with joy more daily. I'm having a hard time finding joy recently too. I've been wearing the tag #fear more often then I want to admit to recently and it's not a tag that I can just tear out. 

In fact, the only way I know how to release myself from fear is giving it to God. If you're wearing the tag #fear today as well, I hope you enjoy this bible verse. 

Do not be anxious about anything, but in every situation, by prayer and petition, with thanksgiving, present your requests to God. And the peace of God, which transcends all understanding, will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus. 

Philippians 4:6-7

Unfortunately, my life was rocked this past week when I found out that someone who I care about left this world through this tragic event. Today's episode is for me as I simply can't move on with my regular podcast episodes without addressing the pain and confusion that I'm feeling.
