Where to begin today?

I'm going to be completely transparent today. You know those days when Satan completely attacks you! He tells you "you suck", your house is ugly, you are lazy and need to clean, you have problems that no one else has (what's wrong with me?). You feel depressed and agitated. Well today is definitely one of those days. I'm not sure why, but I just feel attacked. So to say that this blog post is going to be a challenge is an understatement. But I figured, I started this blog to share my life with you, the good days and the bad days. Because who realistically always has good days??

But in spite of this defeat I am filling, at the end of the day I still have many things to be thankful for......

......a family (including my in-laws) who loves me

.....being able to get an education, although most times it is incredibly stressful and I don't want to be there, it is a huge opportunity that many across the world do not get (I try to remind myself of this often)

.....coffee, for some reason this morning I was craving a good ole dose of caffeine, I turned to my old friend coffee, who of course did not let me down. I'm sorry I abandon you during the summer months, for you are o so delicious!

.....hat days. I love being able to sweep my raggedy hair up into a bun on my head and throw on a hat to cover up the mess

Disregard all the stupid signs behind me....I'm sitting at school

.....quick weeks. It seems the older I get the quicker time moves! Weeks fly by and don't get me wrong I'm glad because I love the weekends. But it is a continual reminder that you have to savor every day because it is gonna be gone before you know it.

.....eating out. I know I sound like a complete snob, lazy wife. But for some reason this week I have been completely uninspired to cook....at all! Thank goodness, Daniel was able to make something last night so we didn't go hungry! LOL


That's all folks......I hope you are feeling more like conquerors than I am today. But in case I'm not the only one....here's a scripture for encouragement:

1 Peter 5:8-11
Keep a cool head. Stay alert. The Devil is poised to pounce, and would like nothing better than to catch you napping. Keep your guard up. You're not the only ones plunged into these hard times. It's the same with Christians all over the world. So keep a firm grip on the faith. The suffering won't last forever. It won't be long before this generous God who has great plans for us in Christ—eternal and glorious plans they are!—will have you put together and on your feet for good. He gets the last word; yes, he does.
