Hi,
I'm Liz.
I celebrated Luke's birthday by getting a tattoo on my side that says, “just breathe.” This phrase has been meaningful to me ever since I learned that reduced blood flow to my brain during a panic attack results in feeling disoriented and out of reality. I learned that literally I can “just breathe” to make it through a panic attack. Having anxiety is something that Luke and I shared and I will remember him and all that God has done in my life since his death when I see or think about my tattoo.
Another reason I like this phrase is that despite whatever crazy things are going on in my life, every day stressors to much bigger issues, God will bring me through it if I just breathe. Just breathing is literally the only thing required of me. God can handle the rest. My tattoo will forever remind me of Luke, all the things that I have learned since he died, my recommitment to being strong in faith and never giving the devil a foothold, and the fact that no matter what happens in my life that God remains in control.
"Breathe, just breathe
Come and rest at my feet
And be, just be
Chaos calls but all you really need
Is to just breathe."
I will miss you forever, bro. Xoxo
