Sadie Robertson Huff is applying some great advice about anxiety that her great-grandmother gave her.
“Honestly, I’ve been having a lot of anxiety about the future. This has been a big year for our family, and a lot of things are changing,” Huff began in an Instagram video April 27, “and it’s like, where does all this change lead to and go? And the other day my great-grandmother said something that just really stuck out to me.”
“I asked her these birthday questions I ask everybody, like, ‘What is something you’re leaving behind? What is something you’re taking with you?’ My 94-year-old great-grandmother said to me… ‘Honey, I can’t really answer that questions because I just don’t spend time thinking about yesterday, and I don’t spend too much time thinking about tomorrow.”
Huff was impressed with her answer. She started to wonder what it would look like in her life if she thought the same way.
“Each day, I walk into the day carrying yesterday’s anxiety or carrying yesterday’s busyness and feeling overwhelmed in today,” she said.
Huff realized that she needs to stay in “today.” She knew her great-grandma’s perspective was Biblical when she read Psalms 16:7-11, which talks about security in Christ:
I will praise the Lord, who counsels me;
even at night my heart instructs me.I keep my eyes always on the Lord.
With him at my right hand, I will not be shaken.Therefore my heart is glad and my tongue rejoices;
my body also will rest secure,because you will not abandon me to the realm of the dead,
nor will you let your faithful one see decay.You make known to me the path of life;
you will fill me with joy in your presence,
with eternal pleasures at your right hand
It was “the best encouragement and advice,” Sadie Robertson Huff said, adding that she often looks to others for advice before God.
“Why am I not going to God first for all these things?” she asked herself. In God, “‘there is fullness of joy.’”
Huff recently shared another thing she notices about herself, aside from worrying too much, is imitating what’s around her, like cussing.
“I’m such an imitator by nature…So, when you hear it…it’s just going to come out. It will enter into your vocabulary, enter into your language. But when I don’t listen to things like that…I don’t even think about it,” she explained. So she’s started to keep good things in her mind by only watching and listening to positive things.
Sadie Robertson Huff just got back from a trip to Canada, and she’s getting ready to resume filming for her and her family’s new show, DUCK DYNASTY: THE REVIVAL.
She shared recent photos with her extended family, husband and two kids. “Canada was awesome but back to being with the family ‘followed around by a film crew’ 😜” she captioned the post.
Her family’s new show will feature Huff’s parents, Willie and Korie Robertson, her siblings and other family members. It will release on A&E on May 28.
