I hate stress and love the soft life. Current events stress me out badly because I can see so much wrong being done, and I can’t fix it. What will be will be. I can’t control the world. I will vote and make a difference where I can, but losing sleep over it just leaves me high strung and exhausted. Things are bad in the West right now. Both my nation and my nation’s allies are under attack, and the enemy is coming from the inside. But the Bible says a godly woman laughs with no fear of the future. I can’t do that as long as I pay too much attention to the news. Jesus is coming back. That’s all I should worry about. Having a child is scary these days though. As leftists lie and extort their way to the top, it’s hard to envision a good future for my daughter. That scares me. But praying and voting are really the only two things I can do.
When my husband comes home, I want to be calm and serene, not upset or concerned or angry. News media is psychologically taxing these days. I honestly don’t know what scarier, the news outlets that lie or the ones who are telling the truth. It’s all pretty horrifying. I can only hope men will be men and stand up for what’s right.
I have dinner ready for my husband when he gets home. I’m washing towels. I did dishes. But mostly I am resting today. My chest and head and ears and eyes hurt. I’m tired. I need to get my mind off the things I can’t control, like an open border and a traitor president, and onto things I can, like reading my TBR books and making my home cozy for my family.
