There are just some things that I know to be true. Among them is the fact that I will never grow to love tomatoes no matter how much I try, I cannot seem to find the enjoyment in running, you can still be a "Daddy's girl" at 32, and I will never have the physical ability to roll my tongue to say, "Ruffles have ridges" like my Mama can. I also know that life will push you until you feel like you cannot take one more thing right before it hands you three. And there is, without a doubt, a God in Heaven. It is because of Him that I know things will be ok. The start of 2014 has proven to be somewhat interesting. And I don't necessarily mean that in the most positive of ways. Don't get me wrong, some truly wonderful things have already happened or been planned. And the memories are already rolling in. Really, in a house with a 2 ½ year old, there is no shortage of new adventure and fun. But amongst the new words, completed potty training, loss of the pacifier, the laughter and joy and countless episodes of The Big Bang Theory, we've had some challenges that just seem to keep on coming. There's just so much meanness in this world, and my sweet family has been privy to quite a bit of it. Yesterday showed us a new form of ugly that is best left unwritten here. Some people that we love more than I could ever put into words are under attack. Things have been set in motion that cannot be undone and we are all at a point where the most we can do is hit our knees and pray. Because that is something else that I know to be true. When you don't know what to do, where to turn, or how to move from where you are to where you need to be, stop what you are doing and pray. You don't have to know what to say, because God already knows what you need. Just start talking. Ask Him for strength, for wisdom, for guidance. Ask Him to sit with you in the quiet moments and make them bearable. Ask him to calm the storm, or to show you the way through. Tell Him that you need Him. Tell Him anything. He can take it. Ask Him to carry you. You might just find out He already is. I don't know why things are happening as they are. But I do know that God has a plan and He does not make mistakes. And that is what I will cling to through this moment in our lives. This will not get the best of us. We have each other. We have wonderful friends. We have God. And that is all we need. --Jessica
Turkey, Turkey is ready for blocking and binding. He was just so much fun that I couldn't stop working on him. Not wanting to sort the leftover worms from the turkey into the overflowing worm bags I recently organized, I decided to start this pattern. I had specifically set it aside with the intent of using up some of those worms. The pattern is My Way by Hooked on George. I bought it years ago from the store at Caraway, and have always liked it. Did I need to start another rug?? Of course not.....but it will be fun to use up a few of those worms. I know, they just multiply, right? I am saving my Fancies rug to work on at an upcoming retreat....that is a "sort of" excuse for starting this rug. The real reason.....I just wanted to. What can I say? I have also been working on Comfort and Joy. All of the pieced blocks are done except two paper pieced blocks. Hoping I can get this one out of the way this week. My busy weekend is done. Family reunion for Blake's Adcock Family....check. Can't Never Could Georgia Cup Sporting Clay Fundraiser at Big Red Oak.....check. Deep breath. Truett's Chik Fil A Luau furnished our lunch on Friday. L-R: Christi, Rob, Mariah, Cyndi, Ryan (from Chik Fil A) and yours truly. Many thanks to the all of the folks who worked together for the success of this event. Big Red Oak is a gorgeous location.....acres and acres of beautiful, wooded land, wildflowers, streams and wildlife. We got to see a pine grove where the new Hunger Games was filmed.... And, no, Jennifer Lawrence wasn't there. Guess that catches me up for the moment. GRATITUDES: Prayer. And Max Lucado, who helps us to understand that we don't have to be eloquent. God simply wants to hear from us. Take Care, Jennie

My first few years in Relief Society were some of the most depressing, anxiety-filled of my life. Relief Society with church is a women's organization. Women ages 18 and older meet Sundays during the third hour of church. Many lessons revolved around bettering ourselves, our roles as women, or the occasional church history lesson. I often felt very alone and isolated. I would try to talk to other sisters, but it was a struggle because I either wouldn't connect with them or I would be ignored completely. I would sit next to others and they would get up and move. I had gotten to the point where I would walk out during lessons and cry. During one particular lesson on unity, everyone was talking about how united they felt with the ward and the other sisters and how easy it was. I raised my hand and asked, "How can other sisters feel more united with the ward? I know for me, even though I come to events and do visiting teaching, I feel pretty alone." I waited out the silence a while until someone said: "If you were really doing everything you're supposed to, your relationship with God would be enough. You don't need to have friends if you're really doing what's right." I waited a few minutes and then I walked out. I was done. I was hoping for an empathetic ear, a solution, an idea of what to do to be accepted. Instead, I got a lovely slap in the face. Could there have been good intentions there? Probably. I don't believe people to be deliberately mean, but it still was painful. Source Now, this wasn't quite the hardest moment for me or the only one. There had been situations like this over the course of a few years. By the time we were moving, my resentment of Relief Society had been cemented. But part of me was still hopeful. I knew (still know) the importance of the Relief Society. I wanted to love Relief Society...or at least not hate it. Now I am still wary of Relief Society, but things began to turn around once we moved out to California for C's new job. Soon after we moved into our new ward, the other ladies in the ward began to reach out to me. My visiting teacher talked to me and paid attention. She didn't spend the whole visit looking for something I missed doing around the house so she could sweep in and take care of it. We had a real conversation. I began finding friends in this new group of ladies. I began to cautiously enjoy going to church again. What changed? People began reaching out to me. Not out of obligation, but because they chose to. I was accepted. Source So how does this relate to anxiety and depression? I can't speak for everyone and I am not a professional, but I know that for me when people reach out and talk to me it can really help. The fact that someone took the time to say hi and ask how things are going is very meaningful. When people reach out, I feel more human. I feel like I belong and that feeling can carry me through some tricky times. We all need to know that we matter...that we belong somewhere...that we have a purpose. Never suppress the idea to do an act of kindness. You may never know how much that one small act can affect that person or the ones that person comes in contact with. An act of kindness is almost always paid forward in one way or another. To finish, here is a list of things that you could do to reach out to someone in your life. If you're like me and get nervous at this sort of thing, invite a buddy to do it with you. Or come up with a reward for doing one of the following ideas. The more that you do something, the easier it gets. 1. Send a text saying hi 2. Send out an email 3. Make a phone call 4. Leave them a fun treat on their doorstep or on their desk 5. Invite them to lunch (food is always a great idea!) 6. Go to the park with them 7. Invite someone over for game night 8. Throw a party and invite them 9. Hold a movie night and invite them 10. Sit with them during church or a meeting or a class 11. Talk and Listen openly 12. Share when you are having a hard time (this helps make them more comfortable with sharing their own struggles) 13. Give a hug (with permission) 14. Write a note or letter and send it in the mail 15. Share a funny joke, story, or meme 16. Laugh together 17. Recommend a book, movie, or tv show and talk about it later 18. Share a favorite song 19. Send them a favorite quote or scripture 20. Bring them dinner These 20 ideas just barely scratch the surface. They range in terms of cost (time and monetary) and difficulty. Your challenge is to do one of the following and share what you did in the comments. Add in how the action goes. I look forward to reading about them! If you have other ideas on how to reach out, share them below too.
