God has really been dealing with me lately on dormant gifts that He placed within me that I have laid down. Out of rebellion or stubbornness or frustration, so here's to picking up what has been laid down!!
After some really hard weeks lately, I determined in my mind this one was going to be different. So in my mind I saw myself having a really meaningful devotion time, cleaning my entire house, cooking my children a four course meal and praying for at least an hour today. I wake up to what started as tingle yesterday, turned into a full blown fever blister today. Yay. Okay, lord, I can deal with my lip being double in size, no biggie, you are still So Good. Start the laundry, only to have my washer flood the whole laundry room. Okay, Lord, you are still Good. Coffee spilled all over the kitchen, Husband cant find clothes...you get the deal. This was only a half hour into my Monday. So now I have a choice, crawl back in bed and pray to be someone else, or look up. So this Monday I chose to look up. One thing God has been dealing with me about is Mondays are Messy. Sundays may be sweet. We get our holy ghost goose bumps and we get to take a nap and we feel like we can conquer the world, and then Monday happens. With Monday comes Fear and Feelings and Floods and Fever Blisters, but it is in the Mondays that Christianity really happens. Its in Monday where I hold the true power. Monday is when I get to decide who I really want to be. Monday is where the Sunday face no longer applies. Monday is where I decide that He worth so much more than provisional praise. Regardless of the infection in my body and the water all over the floor, He is still so worthy. Regardless of the mountain of laundry and the mountain of bills, He still deserves the very best of my heart, my attitude, my day, even my Monday. Here is to having a week where He becomes the forefront of all I say and do, may I see Him even in the Fear, Floods and Fever Blisters!!! |
