Coming into 2019, I felt strong in my faith and was believing God to meet my needs.
Then one day my daughter began to pull her hair out. In the beginning, the pull out was minimal (no bald spots) so I had no great concern. Then the habit grew to my child pulling out A LOT of her hair.
In a split second, I went from being a relaxed mom to a concerned mother trying to figure out what was wrong with her baby. I was waking up at 5 am for morning prayer while I spent the rest of the day worrying. My goal of being a good mother started to suffocate my faith and trust in God.
I had sleepless nights with crashing thoughts that were aggravating my brain. After too many days of repeating this behavior, I surrendered. I had to remember that my job was to follow God's lead as I took care of my child.
Once I came to that realization, no longer was I praying for peace and thinking the worst. I had to live each day trusting that God had me and my daughter in His best care!
