Ginger, I just want to say that I can relate to Jill's anxiety. I recently turned 60 years old and I still struggle. I can vividly recall getting sick before every band or vocal performance/competition and every race at a track meet. I just encourage her to keep trying regardless of the setbacks. For me, it has not gotten "easier" to meet new people or put myself in the "spotlight", but I have learned that I can still do things and getting sick first is just a part of it. I really have to give myself a good pep talk and sometimes I still chicken out, but God has all the strength we need. I'll be praying for the next driving test. God bless and thank you for sharing with us!
Yep... I have learned to pray with her. and it is teaching her to give it to God :) In a way it is blessing me more than her to see her faith grow in confidence. Thank you so much for taking the time to comment.
Beautiful pages! The first Bible verse I learned! Praying this gave me peace. So many things God has helped me through! His timing is important to remember. Trusting and waiting is a struggle, so I think on all the times God has been faithful! Jill persevered to get her license. I think she learned not to give up and to keep trying. Next time she faces something like this she can remember how God helped with the driving test ❤
This is a good message/reminder for everyone. Life is stressful and it affects everyone to varying degrees but with trust and faith in God, He will get us through it. No matter how intense it is to us, He can handle it. We just have to ask Him to manage it, and then let Him. That is the difficult part me.
My 17 year old grandson is the same way GINGER. He is terrified of driving ! He got his permit right away and we can not get him to even try to drive! He will hardly go to a family gathering. He would not to school the day they gave out the awards because he did not want to walk across and accept it ! I pray all the time . Sometimes that’s all we can do. This was a perfect message for me .❤
Talk to his doctor. Jill has been on meds for almost a year and a half ... GAME CHANGER. she is a regular giddy crazy teen. She does still have moments like the one I spoke about here. But she is so much happier. Once we got her meds on track we started therapy. That in my opinion is the key ... we really noticed the difference. So much so she was able to cut back on her med dose. Like the doctor explained to me and her dad. she needs the confidence and over time the goal is to be off the meds. :) This world is so hard and social media does not help in any way. It is so scary and frustrating at the same time. I will pray for your grandson. :) all my love and prayers friend. Thank you for the kind words and taking time to watch. I hope your inspired.
It is wonderful to give the stress to God and receive his peace and grace. I just have a hard time not taking it back and stressing all over again. Thank you for the wonderful job you do on this series.!
Omgosh I just had to pause the video because when taking about Jill it sounded just like you were talking about my daughter. She gets paralysed by fear around strangers, even extended family she doesn't see often. It is so debilitating for her. For a lot of years we had her constantly at the Dr's as she was physically sick. Years later we now know it was anxiety making her sick.
YEP that is exactly how Jill was. Jill has been on meds for almost a year and a half ... GAME CHANGER. she is a regular giddy crazy teen. She does still have moments like the one I spoke about here. But she is so much happier. Once we got her meds on track we started therapy. That in my opinion is the key ... we really noticed the difference. So much so she was able to cut back on her med dose. Like the doctor explained to me and her dad. she needs the confidence and over time the goal is to be off the meds. :) This world is so hard and social media does not help in any way. It is so scary and frustrating at the same time. I will pray for your daughter. One of the hardest things we did as parents is accept, she needed meds. It is very scary to think she needs them and what the side effects are. But just like we take blood pressure medicine she needs this med to function in a healthy way. Call me "old school" but the days of pull up your bootstraps are over. Which is good and bad in my opinion. By not accepting what she needed with help of one of my best friends, I was only going to hurt her more. Which no momma wants to do. It is a different world.
I just love your layout to the point I am going to order the papers you used. Going back to the 1st video to get the name. Saying a prayer for Jillian for peace and calm
I have in the past. For this journal I had some multicolored chipboard ones. I make them with letter dies and or my circut. Scrapbook.com has many letter font dies. I get them on sale and use my bigshot. I hope that helps. :)
