I knew this day would come......
A hard Day...........
When nothing seems right and everything is most certainly wrong.....
The Bible talks about in this life you will have trouble...............
To take each thought captive and bring it unto the obedience of Christ...........
To think on whatsoever things are pure, lovely, of good report..............
Today, I did not follow this advice..........
I went right down that road where all the doubts, insecurities, what ifs...
Angry thoughts, hurts, mispoken words, and bitterness dwell.....
My ever so wise husband, after realizing the path I was on, said to me....
Which do you love more?? Your family, who is here, and loves you,
Needs your encouragement, time and energy.......or....................
That thought that you are nursing, that has totally changed your outlook,
attitude, sweetness, patience, calm, and peace............
I had never looked at it this way. The thing that was causing
me so much turmoil, and taking my attention away from my kids was/
is sooooo not worth it! Of course, I love them, my family more....
I am trying to think of 3 blessings...Does God continue to bless us
when we feel less than loveable? Less than deserving of a blessing?
Blessings for today would be:
34.) That this too will pass...It always does.
35.) That God knows my heart and why I feel like I do...
36.) That Lord willing I wake up tomorrow and choose to do it differently. Because
His mercies are new every morning.
I saw this quote today:
Though no one can go back and make a brand new start, ANYONE can start from
NOW and make a brand new ending.
Here's hoping! :) Good Night.
I am sorry you had such a bad day. The enemy is always lurking seeking those whom he may devour, trip up, make angry.
ReplyDeleteI too have had a day like this in the past week. I was angry and irritated. It is so hard to focus on the good, the love and the family when satan puts his big ole nasty in your path.
Praise God for reminders, great friends, wonderful family and His Precious Word to set us back on track.
Hugs and Love Kristi!
Thanks for your honesty in sharing, Kristi! For every word you typed, there are probably lots of us who have those days, but don't feel we can admit to it, or maybe don't have someone to "pull us up by the bootstraps." So another blessing - your Godly husband, who knew just what to say, and was sensitive enough to perceive it and brave enough to say it! Praying for those new mercies to be evident to you in a brilliant way tomorrow! Caryn:)
ReplyDeleteHang in there Kristi - yeah, we've all had those days but who feels like blogging then?! (Actually I have done a couple of posts on those days.) Know what? They do pass because God is faithful and His mercies are new every morning.

ps - hormones are a real factor - and satan knows that too
