Last night I was so excited for today. There were so many fun things planned! I was going shopping to get "school" things for the boys, going to make chore and behavior charts, grocery shopping (oh how I love that!!), starting a new diet, and new friends were coming over for dinner! Eric and I cleaned the house on Friday, so everything was ready to go. Well, when I woke up this morning, I was so sick. I don't want to eat Wingstop for a really long time! I had a date with my bed and the bathroom (sounds lovely, right?!). I was very disappointed about this sickness ruining my plans for today. As I laid in bed day dreaming about how my day should have looked, I was reminded of the Israelites and their grumbling. God really, really despises grumbling. I too, was grumbling and complaining about things not going my way. Later I was on the phone with my mom and she said that maybe I just needed the rest. God's plans are not always my plans. I know it seems a bit silly because this is nothing major, but I love what God showed me today. I need to stop grumbling, and thank God for the things he has blessed me with. I need to trust that God's ways are better than my ways.
After a change of heart, my eyes were opened to the blessings all around. Eric was so sweet today. He brought me soup, took care of the boys all day so I could get some rest, and made a trip to the store for me. The boys were wonderful! Normally there are lots of loud noises and fun going on, but today they were more calm! Eric and I cleaned on Friday, so the house didn't need a lot of attention today! It was nice to slow down today, and reflect on God's goodness and grace. I am so thankful that I am His!!
