I Don't Like Being Nervous

I wish I would stop getting nervous. God has given me great ideas for projects which I'm so happy about. This is a chaotic time for me because there things I really need to get in order around my apartment and also paying some new bills that recently arrived. Why things are not in good order is because I just had another one of my recurrences of sleeping so much I can't get anything done. It's great that I'm up and doing things because all the sleeping has gotten me run down and I often just hadn't felt like doing things that really needed doing. So this morning, according to a new habit I'm trying to form, I put Bible reading and study first followed by exercise. Then I had decided to work on a project I've really been wanting to get to and I was happily anticipating doing it --then all of a sudden I'm asking myself what do I think I'm doing, there was something else to do that I better not put off. The result of this is that I get really nervous. I ended up changing my plans and working on something else a little disgruntled. I'm still glad for what I accomplished but I don't want to have to put up with any more nervousness. I want to enjoy what I do and do it as unto the Lord.

Something great happened today that helped me make the most of my day. When I got so nervous I began singing a hymn about peace. The words to the chorus start out like this: Peace, peace, wonderful peace. It's a great hymn. I was also reading some Scriptures I found on peace. I made them into an acrostic. Also I was praying for God to give me peace. After about ten minutes all of a sudden I felt so peaceful like God had sent an angel to fly to me and help me. I got nervous this evening because I was stressed about whether I should do some more housework, even though I didn't feel like it. I ended up not doing anymore housework and writing this blog update. I feel better now that I've put in writing what's been making me nervous. Your prayers would be much appreciated.

Some good news is that the doctor increased my thyroid medicine which should cause the spells of excess sleeping to stop. I'll be celebrating If I go a month without the excess sleep recurring!
