Life

Life!!! Is it really stressful or do we just make it that way???? Here is the deal.... I wake up and let Cleo and Tiny out, oh and the pup that Marquita's angel Nathan has blessed us with..... I have my coffee and do my quiet time. I am thinking, "Life is Great"..... THEN it all happens..... The kids get up. The dogs start barking. The horses start getting rambunctious. The goats starts bawling and yes the kids are hollaring for juice, chocolate milk, breakfast......Also fighting over who wants what in what cup.... The phone starts ringing. The list goes on and on. Somewhere in the midst of the storm I have forgotten what I just read during my quiet time about patience, love unconditionally, kindness, understanding, forgiveness..... How does this happen??? I know we as humans having a longer memory than that....Does God really understand PMS?? I actually think it is not Pre Mentstral Syndrome. It is definately PlEASE MAKE SENSE!!! I believe I get it in my mind that I am in control.... NOT GOD!!!!! Why? I have no idea. I am the one who think she has to control the whole home situation... So today I just sat back and listened to the chaos... I didn't get upset. I made a plan. I had things to do and I wanted an orderly house. This day IS going to work.... Praise God it did... It is a mindset for sure. If I let the kids think they are going to ruin my day, then they will. I refuse it. Life is too short to have stress. Yes the kids may scream and beat the heck out of each other more than once a day. Maybe they are teaching each other to be tough.... Yes they may tear the house up, however now they are big enough to clean it up themselves. I am liking that idea more and more. They may not like what I make for meals, however, more for me to eat..... Less dishes to wash too...There always has to be a better side of the day. My days are going to be not just good but GREAT, whether the kids like it or not... God wants me to be a happy, productive, Godly woman. That is just what I WILL be EVERYDAY!!! God Bless!!
