Pounding Heart

My emotions were spun up in so many different areas yesterday. I believe we experience all things for our learning and growth. I trust in my Heavenly Father to know what I can handle, what I can't and that he has a plan for me. I believe He has a big picture for me even when I am face to face with a small piece of it.

• I had to compose an email yesterday morning to a "friend" that gets under my skin very easily. I have to be very careful in how I word my purpose. My heart pounds.
• My son experienced some "Mormon Bashing" at school. The teacher was unaware until my email this morning. She emailed me back and then called me too. It will be handled today, I hope well. My heart pounds.
• My other son experienced making some poor choices after other kids made some of their bad choices. The grandfather approached my son (whom we don't know) and started to dress him down on the street. My son was scared. I went to speak with the grandfather and ask that he not approach my son in the future but to the school or me directly. It was handled well. My heart pounds.
• My VT'ers came over yesterday in which I brought up a personal struggle and asked for their advice and council. They gave loving and kind wisdom. My tearful heart was softened. My heart is scared.
• A good friend called. Her one year old is in ICU. My heart aches for this mom.

I don't see the big picture of yesterday. I made choices of how to handle each situation, as did others. I am not second guessing any of my actions. I am glad to have the confidants in myself and my hubby. I am glad hubby has my back. I am grateful that I trust my Heavenly Father knows me and knows why to push my heart to pound.
