Oh my it does! I am so glad this day started out with God! If it didn't I can promise you it wouldn't have bearable. This morning started out like every other; get up, get dressed, put in contacts, brush teeth, hair in pony tail and climb back into bed w/ 2 Bibles, daily devotional, prayer devotional and spiral notebook to journal. I got done and read my writing to a trusted friend, jotted the ideas I needed to change or elaborate on then got a call I needed to take. I thought the caller was my daughter in Mississippi, turned out to be my ex-husband. We've had a very rocky relationship for the past 13 years, so for him to call was something. A conversation never can be good when it contains these words, "Please don't be mad at me, but..." Especially from your ex. Well, good thing I was in the word previously and my heart, mind, soul and body are totally and completely God's because what I heard next and will remain secret really got my goat. So, after he said it was all his fault I listened to "the rest of the story" as Paul Harvey would say. Come to find out my 17 year old son who recently graduated High School did need the signature of his mother to join the Marines after all. After talking to my son's recruiter in Mississippi, I went to the local Marine Corps Recruiting office and told them what was needed of me. They were so kind and willing to help. Several hours later and 2 conversations with my ex husband I can and did look back on the day and feel it was a success. Had I not started out the day giving it and me to God I can see how it would've been different. When we first seek him in all things he works it out to HIS glory! My day would've been ruined had I not given it to God to work out. The first conversation with my ex would've ended up different and I would've been mad that I have to do the leg work that should've been done long ago. And through it all I was able to glorify God with an honest, humble attitude that God gave me for the day. Don't we got to God with the same sentence, "Please don't be mad at me God, but..." Who am I to say I haven't done someone or something wrong. I have, we all have for that matter, and it's the forgiveness from God that we freely received and must freely give. God can turn the worst day into an amazing one if we just give him the chance.
God bless...
