War With Anxiety


My name is Brittney and I’m in a war with anxiety.

I’m putting this on blast because it is my opposer’s hope that I would fight alone without the boisterous cheers of those who believe in me.

I’m in a war with anxiety.

And it’s much like the school’s bully

steady asking for my peace like it’s lunch money before resolving to shove me in a locker.

And For far too long I have given it up without a fight thinking it would go away and find another victim.

But it only makes him comfortable that I comply so well.

Compliance.

The instruction I’ve heard all too much.

You’re black.

Comply with the officer.

You’re a woman.

Comply with the man.

But still I find myself in this war with anxiety

Because my truth remains the same that the world around me is far too stained.

The truth is, I’ve experienced peace.

And it felt much like the relief of releasing your clothes at the end of a long day.

It felt like the sweetest massage to the soul.

And I want that forever.

Before Jesus went to take his seat next to our Father, he gifted me with peace.

So why am I warring with anxiety?

Imagine living in obedience...

Literally geographically Living in the place where God has commanded you to be

And seeing death run rampant in the earth and just want to share the same dwelling space with your closest family.

That seems to be anxiety’s heaviest artillery right now.

But I have experienced peace before

And I want that forever.

I am in a war with anxiety and for the longest I was losing but now...

I’m learning to fight back.

ITMT has provided an amazing community that’s full of encouragement, laughter and motivation! Community has been something I’ve lacked as I have journeyed to my promise from God, but I’m grateful that God has sent me a wonderful community such as ITMT so I don’t have to fight and progress alone. ITMT’s community is an answered prayer.

ITMT has impacted me in a great way, mainly as it relates to the importance of community. For single women to have a safe place to just be... is without a doubt one of the greatest things to have in one’s single season. I love that we not only pray and trust God as we wait for our marriages, but we also laugh, cry, and hold one another accountable to being who and what God has called us to be overall. I love us so much!

ITMT has been the community I prayed for and received without noticing. When it comes to increase in faith, confidence, and being honestly transparent, ITMT was the place to be!! I’ve gained holy counsel, lifelong relationships and stepped into a part of myself I wasn’t aware was in me. It’s been a mental, physical and spiritual growth journey that I plan to remain with! Thank you BReel for your obedience, it lead to my obedience and so many more!! #obedience is greater than sacrifice!

ITMT has been a huge blessing in my life from the very beginning. Over the past year, it has given me more than I ever expected or realized I needed. During my time of being single, I've learned important principles that are helping me become the woman God wants me to be. As I’ve worked on myself, I've started to see myself more clearly, just as God sees me. This has helped me trust my own thoughts and decisions more. I’ve also learned to listen to God's guidance when it comes to my love life. I’m really thankful for BReel, who has been such a fighter for the Christian single woman.

ITMT has helped me see the blessing in waiting. I’ve gained a healthier perspective of the assignment of marriage which has also allowed me to see the value in waiting. I can now comfortably and confidently say I don’t mind waiting for what God has promised me.

ITMT has been a blessing to my soul and provided me with community and accountability I had no idea I needed. To be able to do life with so many amazing women, in the meantime is a continued reminder of Gods love for me. There is nothing better than a REAL safe space where you can authentically be yourself as you grow closer to God in the meantime.

ITMT has blessed me by providing me with a strong sense of community and support. It allowed me to gain deeper connections with others, strengthen my connection with God, and it has allowed me to activate my spiritual gifts.
