Stressors

When we discussed stressors, I got an overwhelming sense of fear (not a big surprise since that happens a lot, but this one was particularly potent). I began to imagine all of the things that my future family might possibly have to go through. Death? Divorce? Child rebellion? Poverty? I ruminated on that for the next couple of days, increasing my anxiety even more. But the more I thought about it, the more I also thought about the coping mechanisms and the strategies. I especially liked reading about the things that I could do, as a future mother and wife. So, come what may, I have the Lord on my side and now I also have these coping mechanisms.
