I have to offer a post of praise for my day yesterday. I woke yesterday feeling empty lonely and needing “me time. I was self focused and throwing one major pity party. Well, after my time with my Father, He spoke to me, loved on me, and showed me how blessed I was. Then prompted me to live in the moment and use my day wisely.
So, I turned on some scripture set to music, baked some banana bread, mopped the living room, taught tons and tons of school, and got all the laundry caught up. I entered the evening feeling very accomplished and blessed that dinner had been ready when my husband got home and without a lot of stress, the table was cleared and dishes done with the help of my oldest daughter, and then we had a great evening of family time.
I am not saying this to brag or boast about myself, only to boast about the power of my Savior. He is so faithful and when we listen to His leading He blesses. He has changed my heart again and turned it towards my home and family. Oh how I love Him! He is so good to me even though I fail time after time.
Listen to Him, let Him plan your day, and watch Him bless you! With His power attitudes can be changed, chores can be blessings, and life can be sweeter!
Isn’t it a wonder how He works? I’m ready for springtime…are you?
I’ve been trying to do this as well. When I feel overwhelmed, rather than just collapse under it, I am trying to really let His Holy Spirit guide me and push me through it. Way to go, Amanda! What an encouraging post!
