sunshine and rainbows

I thought I was having one of "those" weeks and it's only Tuesday, oy.

It started yesterday I was so tired. I think it was my nap combined with Starbucks later in the day and this Mama could not sleep at night. I drifted off somewhere around 3:30 only to spring awake for work at 5:30 6:00 (thank you snooze button). I somehow managed to make it through work and then when I got home things got worse. I woke up today still angry from the prior incident and worried. Thanks to my Dad (I jokingly call him Doom and Gloom) I take a situation and think of every possible outcome and all of these possible outcomes suck. I try to keep it together and decide to read my daily, this always makes me feel better I say to myself. Today was short and sweet. "Blessed are the peacemakers for they will be called the children of God." This did not make me feel better. Where is the scripture instructing me to throat punch my enemy? Because let's be honest, that's how I really feel.

Man, I just couldn't shake this sadness and anger which is not normally like me. I crack open the Bible again thinking surely I'll find something in here to help the situation. This just left me with more questions and now I have a post-it note with a ton of notes and still feeling like I'm no closer to an "answer."

It finally clicks....be a peacemaker. Did I not just read this? Am I totally ignoring what I'm instructed? Uh, my bad.

After I got my heart right about the situation the day went much better. Carter and I even went on a date...to Walmart.

So lesson of the day:

When you feel like this:

Remember this:
