I am a firm believer that you can change your attitude if you think positively. Just because I believe it, doesn't mean I always practice what I preach. I'm by no mean positive Polly, but there are just some days where I want to sit around and just be ... melancholy.
I've had a rough few weeks lately. Not sure what is going on, but I feel like I'm being attacked or tested.
I'm failing miserably, as I always do.
Our a/c has not been working for the last three days. I know things could be a lot worse, but I can.not.stand.to.be.hot. (I know what you're thinking...But you live in Texas, hello??) I've noticed that I've been more on edge these past couple of days and not so nice to Morgan. I broke down crying last night in dramatic fashion: "I'm so tired of being hot, and getting no relief! I'm the worst mom, EVER! I hate this house!...etc".
Today, I think things are finally getting to my husband. He has breezed through this "uncomfortableness" like a boss, but I think he's had enough. I've found myself getting worried about things with his job (for no good reason, really) and other things that I gave to God. I felt God smack me in the back of the head just a little while ago and say "Hello? Kelly? Remember me? I am here for YOU, stop trying to control EVERY situation and talk to me!!!"
I stopped and said a prayer and just breathed a little. God is in control. God is sending relief this weekend (high temps will be in the 50's!) I love His caring reminders that He is in control and he cares about my problems -- even when in the grand scheme of things, my problems, aren't really BIG problems. Just whines and complaints.
So, I'm going to actually practice what I preach and change my attitude and rest comfortably knowing that He is bigger than anything else going on in my life.
What has He done for you today?
It is so hard to give our worries and concerns to God before they eat away at us. I think if we did that more, we would find that positive thinking (and knowing that HE always has our back and best interest in mind) would definitely change our situations or at the very least how we look at them. It seems sometimes that when it rains it pours, especially with house and family stuff. I am sorry you had to deal with all of those negative feelings, believe me I have been there more times than I care to admit, but I am glad that you have released those stresses to Him. I am super sorry about your air conditioner and hope that it gets fixed soon! We do have some pretty amazing weather to look forward to this weekend though, so maybe the next few days won't be as bad as the proceeding days.
ReplyDeleteThanks Cristi! It is hard to give things to God, sometimes. I'm a work in progress haha!
ReplyDeleteJust heard from my hubby that they have to replace the motor on the ac and it should be done today? I sure hope so! Just in time for cooler weather! haha!
