This weekend has gone differently than planned! Blessing is sick and Andy isn't feeling the best either. So yesterday, we just stayed home out of the cold. We had to start breathing treatments for Blessing - I hate how they make her shaky and stuff, but I guess they are better than her struggling to breathe all the time.
Today, I stayed home with Blessing while Andy went and taught Sunday School. This afternoon while Andy stayed home, I went and worked out at IWU and then caught up on some grocery shopping at Walmart.
Not much else to report, except that tomorrow starts a new week! I hope you have a blessed week! The following is a devotional I got off of the message boards from Beachbody.....
If I know that God knows all my tomorrows, today, then I should ask him for advice. He knows what’s going to happen: “Call to me and I will answer you. I’ll tell you marvelous and wondrous things that you could never figure out on your own” (Jeremiah 33:3 MSG).
The things you don’t know, God can tell you about. He’s not going to lay out your whole life all at once, telling you everything that will happen in your life. If he did, you’d likely get very discouraged or prideful or both. Instead, he gives it to you a little bit at a time.
It’s like this, when you’re driving up a mountain on a curving road and you’re caught behind a slow car, you may think, “If I could just see around the curve, I’d go ahead and pass this guy.” If there were a helicopter above, the pilot could let you know if there was another car around the curve. From his perspective, he could help you out.
The same is true with God: from his perspective, he knows everything that’s going to happen, so you can ask him for advice.
Here’s what I’d suggest, when you get up in the morning, go over your schedule with the Lord. Pray, “Father, you’ve already seen this day that I’m about to experience. You know ahead of time every interruption I’m going to face, every cranky person in the office, every flat tire, every traffic jam, every missed plane, when I’m going to spill the coffee on my suit. You’ve already seen it all. Would you, right now, give me the strength to cope through this day, the strength that I need for today.”
