My counselor says I get some kind of benefit from beating myself up when I make a mistake. I just know that it scares me sometimes to make a mistake. Everyone else that I know then thinks it is ridiculous to think the way that I do since they say it is no big deal. If people are mad then they are ma...

never feel like a hypercrite going to God since He wants to hear from you. Ask, believe and you will receive. He gives us what we need.

We have to keep finding ways to appreciate what we have and really think about do we want the job or not. With husband, they are human and make mistakes and as long as they are mostly support...

I had an anxiety attack this weekend at McD's when ordering breakfast and it was really busy inside. I was stu...
