I know how hard that is to do when your toddler is throwing the thousandth tantrum of the day, when your newborn woke up 8 times that night, and decided to wake up for good at 4am.. or when your toddler & your infant both woke up all night, and both had hard days.
What goes through your head when life happens? When your expectations are proven unrealistic? I know for me it's how intensely I wish I were experiencing anything else! I also know with all my heart, that's not what the Lord wants me to focus on..
I could go on for hours, but I just want to hit one main point here: our time on earth is short.
Instead of focusing on the negatives in 'unfortunate' circumstances, praise God that you're able to experience them! You're ALIVE!!! Praise God that you have the opportunity to raise one of HIS children to know right from wrong! Praise God that in those moments you have the opportunity to draw closer to Him, and rely on His strength instead of your own.
Amen?
Amen. :o) Couldn't help myself.
