Up and At’Em

April 7, 2011 By Mrs. Mom Leave a Comment

Looking out my window, there it is the bright morning sun shining bright saying “Good morning.” I really pray that this will be a good morning. I have been a bit tired lately and so my mornings have been hard. After a long night of dealing with my kids and trying to get some rest, I wake up in the morning and I am not yet rejuvenated, but God has graced me. Well, this morning I want more. This morning is going to be different. Even now as I type, my kids are screaming and hollering. They are fighting over the pictures on the refrigerator and who will get to play with the magnetic letters. Truth be told, they will be ok. And look they are. They worked it out among themselves. Now they are playing just fine.

Pushing through, isn’t always easy, but I have to do it. I have to get back in a routine. There used to be an order to my day. I know why my life got out of order, but honestly I don’t want to get into that right now. What I want to focus on is, moving forward. So, what am I going to do to move forward. I am going to do what I already started. I got up this morning and prayed. I read my word and now I’m gonna have a nice hot cup of coffee and some sugar cookies. Then I’m gonna make a list of what I need to do today in my planner, make the grocery list, and get me and my kids dressed. This day will be a successful one. What does that mean? It means that all that God has for me to do today will be accomplished. I’m not gonna be a couch potato today, tired and laying down with a lack of focus, but I am choosing to be productive. Kids crying and all, we have things to do and they are gonna get done. It’s funny because, I didn’t even know how to make the coffee. I had to call my mom and she told me to just add water.

Just add water, I have added the water of life to my recipe today and so I know it will be better than good. It will be a great day. God never fails me nor does he let me down. Just add water, I had some of the Living water this morning and now I am feeling refreshed.

Now I’m ready…
