I hate these mornings. The one's where you think you woke up in time, until you go downstairs and find the dishes from dinner last night still sitting on the stove, kids homework everywhere, no one can find socks, the trash bag leaked all over the floor,and then you step on the scale and NOTHING. Not one lb gone. I hate these mornings. Plus fighting with a 9 year old, and a 5 year old who doesn't want to go to school if she has to brush her hair. No mom of the year award for me (again). Because of course I couldn't even find a scrunchie, and did not end up brushing said 5 year old's hair! My pity party is now over (sometimes it just feels good to vent)!!!!!
And so, ( with about 10 mins. in between the last paragraph) I just got put back in my place by MY GOD, honestly it literally just happened. I was just signing onto this blog, and there is a button you can push to go to "next blog". Thinking I would go to my next blog, I come across a woman's page....called Barefoot and Happy, I think. And across her page it's written, "take off your shoes, you're standing on Holy Ground". This woman is taking her readers on her journey as she is continuously finding tumor after tumor on her body. Thanks again to MY GOD for being there to put me in my place. I should be rejoicing that I am able to fight with my 9 year old, and that my 5 year old has hair with an option to brush or not to brush! I don't really think that MY GOD wants me to minimize my feelings, I think it's ok with Him that my bad morning doesn't have to be like someone else's bad morning. I do think that MY GOD had to put me in a place of pure thankfulness this morning though, because MY GOD knows, I was everything but thankful this morning.
Ive just recently gotten to the point that I'm ok with praying to MY GOD any time during the day. MY GOD is always there. I used to feel that I had to have one long prayer time during the day. Let me add this to my list and pray during my prayers tonight, kind of thing. But for me, MY GOD is available any time and I will pray at any time. I have just come to realize that, I pray and mostly ask for things....I have never had a real time set aside just for praise and thankfulness. So, starting right now, my mornings are set aside for prayers of praise and thankfulness (and of course during the day, too). But for me, just to be sure I start off with a prayer of thanksgiving and a truly thankful heart for Beauty for Ashes!
