The Ups and Downs of My Day
Today was something else. I woke up crying because I had a family issue bothering me, and then when I looked at my son I was just overcome by emotions thinking how much he looks like his Daddy. I talked with my parents immediately after, and all the emotions I was feeling was based out of fear. I settled down and decided to live in the moment I was living. That was kind of hard for me because it was letting go of some feeling that I thought was justifiable to have; however, if I allowed it to rule over my moments I was living, I was going to ignore the moments I have had today. So, I took a shower, got my son up and cleaned, ate breakfast, went to play outside with my son, cleaned up our bed, and then got on with the rest of the day. It was hard to get started but it wasn't something I couldn't do in the name of Jesus. I wasn't going to let some evil force or power rule over my day. No way! No how! I had to take a nap mid-day because of being emotionally overwhelmed from the morning time and the heat of the day. Say, the least, I took a good nap. When I woke up, we got ready for Wednesday night church services, and then went to church for Bible study. I enjoyed the Bible study lesson tonight because it was in Zechariah. The study was on the Millennial rule when Christ is coming back, and how Zechariah prophesied when Christ will come back and how Christ also spoke about the Millennial rule with his 12 apostles. We conversed about how Jewish people are the Chosen people, but it is up to them to actually realize Christ is Christ and worship Him for who He is. We also went to grocery store to buy milk, cheese, cereal and some stuff for tomorrow's supper times.
Here is what I enjoyed about today:
- being with my son
- living in the moment the best way I could
- going to Bible study to study about when Christ will come again
- the conversations with my parents and sister Michele
- the knock knock jokes my son and nephew told
- fellowship with my sisters and brothers in Christ
- shopping at the grocery store
- realizing I don't have to go to church to pray to God, but church is a place I can definitely go and expect Christ's Holy Spirit to be there
- finally getting an answer to a prayer request
My goal for the rest of the week is to get in more walking each day, go swimming at least one or two more days this week/weekend, and then take time out of my day to take care of myself. I wish each one of you a restful night of sleep and an everlasting amount of love to bring you into an eternity with Christ.
