Well, Im at it again. The ole blog. You know the afore mentioned "fever and a cough" my young babe had the other day...well now momma's got it. And you know what they say, "if momma aint happy, aint nobody happy." HA! Just kidding...mostly. ;) Anyways, it should come as no surprise to you then when I tell you that this was one of those mornings where the I needed a double portion of coffee and Jesus to get up, get out of bed and get my chirping baby from his crib, as I had let him chirp for about 15 minutes already.... currently, I am sitting here at our island while he is crawling around in the foyer...and by the sounds of it...ripping rugs up off the floor and trying to get the gate unlatched to climb up the stairs....yes, he is feeling better.
You know the phrase "its been one of THOSE days"--ahh the dreaded "those days" well I'm here, welcome to Tuesday or better known as "that day". "Those days" tend to look a bit different for everyone. While most may have a hard day at work or car trouble etc. For me I have the unceasing whining and fussing- whether playing or being held... there is a fuss about it. Whew, this is one of "those days" where I need to walk around with Bible verses taped to my forehead in order to keep my cool when my patience capacity reaches its maximum levels ( and yes I said level-S because you do not have a choice to be maxed out in mom world...you just keep swimming and I confess that today feeling a bit malaise myself, my patience may tend wear thin quicker than usual :(
So if anyone else is having a day like am having today here are some verses that I should probably get tattooed to my arm because when everything else seems chaotic Jesus can fill us with peace. I'm claiming His peace today.
"A gentle answer turns away wrath, but a harsh word stirs up anger." Proverbs 15:1
"Be quick to listen, slow to speak and slow to anger because the wrath of man does no bring forth the righteousness of God." James 1:19
"Do not grow weary in doing good for at the proper time you will reap a harvest of righteousness if you do no give up." Galatians 6:9
I know there are some MUCH better verses to claim on hectic days but these are just the ones I've memorized so far....bare with me.
Here is the verse I am working on memorizing now:
"The Lord God, the Lord is One. Love the Lord with all your heart, with all your soul and with all your strength. These words should be on your heart. Teach them diligently to your children. Talk about them when you sit at home and when you walk along the road......"
thats as far as I have memorized so far....
"....while you lie down and when you get up. Tie them as symbols on your hands and bind them on your foreheads. Write them on the doorframes of your houses and on your gates." Deuteronomy 6:4-9
