It has just been one of those weeks. Everything that could possibly stress me out has presented itself. I am sure my attitude didn't help. Instead of taking it to God I let myself get angry instead. I had such a wonderful Sunday at church. I served in the Bookstore and met several new people. I was almost giddy when church services got over. But that is almost where it ends.
By Monday evening everything seemed to be piling on and I was just in a MOOD. Bless my poor husband's heart he has been so patient with me this week. Even when he was probably thinking, "Where is my wife and who is this person?" I haven't been praying and reading my bible as much this week. I'm not sure if this has exacerbated the situation or if it is a result of the situation. I am sure it is a little of both.
Last night I think was my turning point. We had Discipleship Community for all of the small groups that meet on Thursday nights. It was a very uplifting time. Worship time was good and I just felt better. It was what I needed. So I'M BACK! With renewed determination to make the best of my prayer and bible time the rest of this week.
Isn't it so good to know that, even though we hit a rough patch, God is waiting with open arms to comfort us? Though I am sure He is thinking, "My child, why did you wait so long to lean on me!" Even if it was only a couple days that I didn't seek Him out; it was still too long. It's a lesson I seem to have to learn over and over. I like to think I am getting better but I still have my moments. :)
