Why do I worry so much?

Why does it seem like the saying "when it rains, it pours" is so true in almost every area of life right now? I just feel like it's been one thing after another lately. The thing that set it off was the miscarriage and now things are breaking, and falling apart everywhere I turn. I am very much looking forward to the end!

I am sure my raging hormones have something to do with my ability to be able to tolerate these minor bumps in the road, and that right there proves my point! All these little things adding up and me being extremely hormonal. This is not a good mix.
I have gotten my cycle back now..though at this time I should not have a period since I have been taking birth control for two weeks! This means I will probably get a period twice this month...YIPEE! Do you sense the enthusiasm and joy in my voice?

This time of year always seems to be a stressful one for us. There is so much going on, so much that needs to be paid for, so much that seems to break...and every year it's the same thing. You would think by now I would be used to this mess or at least prepare myself in some way or another.

I just turned on my music cd that I bought at the Women of Faith Conference and the song "Again I say Rejoice" came on. Boy has that changed my mood in just a matter of minutes. I feel better. I forget how reminding myself of these things, can change your whole day. I have been stuck in a rut looking at the closed door. I think I need to listen to this cd every morning and leave the worrying to the only one who has the power to change things.

4Rejoice in the Lord always. I will say it again: Rejoice! 5Let your gentleness be evident to all. The Lord is near. 6Do not be anxious about anything, but in everything, by prayer and petition, with thanksgiving, present your requests to God. 7And the peace of God, which transcends all understanding, will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus.

8Finally, brothers, whatever is true, whatever is noble, whatever is right, whatever is pure, whatever is lovely, whatever is admirable—if anything is excellent or praiseworthy—think about such things. 9Whatever you have learned or received or heard from me, or seen in me—put it into practice. And the God of peace will be with you.

10I rejoice greatly in the Lord that at last you have renewed your concern for me. Indeed, you have been concerned, but you had no opportunity to show it. 11I am not saying this because I am in need, for I have learned to be content whatever the circumstances. 12I know what it is to be in need, and I know what it is to have plenty. I have learned the secret of being content in any and every situation, whether well fed or hungry, whether living in plenty or in want. 13I can do everything through him who gives me strength.
Philippians 4:4-13
