Thankful.

I am so thankful for friends who love me.

Friends who pray when I ask, and friends who pray when I don't ask. Friends who listen, friends who give advice. Friends who tell me I look awesome in my jeans. Friends who will make me tea in the middle of the night. Friends who come calling my name, just to see how I am. Literally. I have been blessed beyond reason with the people God has placed in my life. Love. Them.

Ok, really.

Sometimes, I feel like I'm in middle school again. No, this does not have to do with me spending a ridiculous amount of time with middle school girls, nor does it have to do with me thinking the Biebster is presh. This has to do with how I feel.

I'm an INFJ. (Please take the Myers-Briggs. It's great.) This means I'm an Introverted iNtuitive Feeling Judger. In other words, I need my alone time and I base a lot off of what I think and feel. I have a tendency to let my feelings overtake what I know to be true. I used to do this all the time when I was in middle school and early high school. I didn't know how to deal with what was going on in my head and in my heart, so I ended up feeling anxious all. the. time. (No, no really. I went to counseling as a 12 year old for this.) As I got older, I learned how to better handle what was going on and have been pretty steady since then.

Every once in a while, this anxiety creeps back in. I manage to pray and read and talk it out, and it goes away. Not this time. It's stuck around a bit too long for my liking. Therefore, I feel like I am 12 once again, and I just want to crawl under a rock. Thank the Lord for grace, and the knowledge that God is in control and loves me through my anxiety.
