What will today bring?

I start out every morning with my feet planted firmly on the floor and my hands crossed, with a Thank You Lord on my lips! I am grateful for another day to show You I am trying to be like You. I fail countless times. I fall and You pick me up, I cry and You rock me in Your arms, I get lost and You find me. Today, is another opportunity to move forward.

Great hype, right? But, the truth is, I don't remember the last time I really got down on my knees and thanked God for my blessings. Words don't mean much without actions to back them up. All the God speak in the world means nothing, if we don't practice what we preach.

Today, is the first day I can honestly say, I am sorry, Lord. Sorry, for not putting You first in all that I do. My life gets crazy, and all my good intentions get left at the door and I go off half-cocked on a rampage. Suddenly, you can't find God in my conversation, much less my life. I am really clueless to how it happens. One minute I am praising Jesus and the next, my mouth is running and He is nowhere in my sights. It's like I forget the promises I just made in prayer earlier that morning.

To say I am lost is a gross understatement. I sometimes don't think I want to be found. It can be so much easier just to hide. Running can be tiresome, but facing up to my mistakes takes so much out of me. I make quite a few, you see, so it takes a long time to get through the list when I am into the repentant stage. It's a good thing God is merciful, or I would have been done years ago. He definitely has His hands full with me!

So be prepared for anything, when you ask-what will today bring? I know one thing for sure. It always brings God's love and forgiveness. Blessings!
