Kaaaaaboooom!

"What we need is the simple faith that the stablishing in Christ, day by day, is God's work- a work that He delights to do, in spite of all our weakness and unfaithfulness, if we will but trust Him for it."~Andrew Murray

Turns out I was gonna need this more yesterday than I first thought. I had a day filled with weakness and unfaithfulness!

I started the day with such good intentions. I was ready for the day and then KAAABOOOM! Everything just seemed to fall apart.

I couldn't do my full workout, because of hip and back issues, I couldn't do laundry because we ran out of laundry soap, my house was a mess and getting worse by the second. I was tired and very distractable (I'm not sure that's a real word, oh well it is today in my little world!) and I ate when I should've prayed, complained when I should've been quiet and gave into defeat.

So I had a pity party and there you go! BAD DAY!

We all have days like this. They stink! No one enjoys day like that and yet the come anyway.

But you wanna know something? The good thing about days like that is they only last twenty-four hours! Then they fall into the past with all the other days gone by. This is encouraging to me. Our bad days don't last any longer than our good days. The problem I face is leaving those bad days in the past and not allowing them to taint today.

A new day filled with new mercies and grace, because of the grace and love of my loving Father. I know that yesterday is gone, all my failures of the day are gone with it and He holds in His hands a new day, new hope, and new strength.

So, I had a bad day......but it's over now and I get to move on to this new day............HIP HIP HOORAY!

I hope that your day is sweet but if not hold on it won't last for long.
