Today I am thankful for: naps, getting the kitchen clean, Darrin's helpful spirit, Madi's sweet hugs & kisses, having Josh home all day, Thai food (Seven Seas!), the freedom to PRAY and praise God!, music
Today has been a little rough. My insomnia is particularly bad right now, and I've begun having anxiety along with it. :o( I lose my temper easily when I'm work out! (Who doesn't, right?) Madi pushed and pushed tonight until I had no choice but to spank her (it's a last resort consequence)--this diva attitude and not wanting to help pick up toys HAS to END! By then I was in a snit and mad at the world. On the bright side, my anger fueled me into a minor cleaning frenzy. I'm glad I was able to turn a negative into a positive. And praise God for new days! Tomorrow I get a do-over!
I sat down to read Job, not entirely wanting to read Job in my mood, lol. But knowing I'd be blessed by it, I continued on. Job 26 & 28 were just what I needed! I let my problems become so big in my head. Being reminded of God's majesty and power helped to give me some perspective. HE is so mighty! HE is so wise! HE is in CONTROL! I am able to let go of my anger and worry because my God loves me. My problems are so small compared to the awesomeness of God! His perfection is brighter and covers my imperfection. Thank You, Lord Jesus, for the peace You give me when I simply ask!
