Have you ever had one of those days where all you can think about on the drive home is how fast you can get home and crawl into bed? Ugh.. that was me yesterday, and the bummer thing about it was I couldn't do that!! I have to say as I was in bed (finally) last night I was trying to put my finger on why the day was a "bad" day, and I couldn't. I had been called in to sub in one of my favorite areas, so that was fun, everyone at work was in a good mood, my own kids had a pretty chill night without any friends over or various activities for me to run them to, and things were running pretty smoothly. But I was on edge all night, and I just don't know why.
When I get these little funks about me it is really easy to fall into a "poor me" mentality, and it takes a lot of personal determination not to do that. Honestly I get scared the mood won't pass and it is a horrible way to feel. It's one of those moods when no matter what advice or cheering your friends give you nothing is going to change it, you are just in a sucky frame of mind.
I set my alarm for 6am this bright Saturday morning, because I had a bunch of chores and homework I put off because of my funky mood the night before. Well, needless to say I overslept until almost 8am!! WOW! And little secret, the kids are still sleeping too! It felt nice to get some much needed rest that I think my body was craving, but the first thing I realized was my funky funk was GONE.. YAY!
When I was getting my coffee ready the verse "he makes all things new" just kept coming to me, and I smiled. I am so thankful for the fact that the Lord gives me a do over sometimes, that every morning is a new day, every morning is a fresh start, and every morning I get the chance to change my attitude from the day before.
This morning I am thankful that I can move forward with my day with a happy heart and know that it is because of my Savior that I have the choice to make my day new!
Revelations 21:5 "Behold I make all things new..."
His mercies are new every morning! xoxox
