Have you ever had those moments where the light bulb just clicks or you feel like something just smacks you in the face? Well, this morning I had one, and boy, did I ever need it. For the past few days, I've been super busy with school and sports, as well as church stuff so I haven't had time to blog or really give anything fun or hobby-like any attention. I had a bad attitude about not writing a new blog, not being able to lay in my bed at night and watch YouTube videos, even about not being able to just clean my room (which still needs to be done, btw).
And on top of all that, my attitude when I got up this morning was horrible. My volleyball team had a game in Salisbury, NC, last night, and I was just worn out when I got home. This morning I had to work, and I didn't know what to expect with new management and leadership, plus I only work one day a week right now, so I miss a lot of changes and information. I really didn't want to go to work and deal with my co-workers, and even though I needed the money, at that very moment I did not care the least bit. So you can imagine the bundle of joy I was when I woke up. After I got up, and put my contacts in, I went into the kitchen to take my thyroid medicine where Mom was cooking breakfast. I told her that I didn't feel like going to work, and wanted to call-out...she looked me in the eye, and said, "Abby, you need to pray, and ask God to give you a new attitude about work, and help you get through the day". and that's what I did...I walked back into my room and asked God to change my heart and attitude about work today. And guess what? He did! It was like a new Abby had woke up and started getting ready for work. Now, many things happened today that affected my attitude and could have hindered me from experiencing what God had in store for today, but I had to remember this morning's prayer and the promise that I made God: 'God, I promise I'll try to have a good attitude and remember the real reason I'm living today...to glorify you'. And there it was, the slap in the face I mentioned earlier: JUST BECASUE I HAD A BAD ATTITUDE AND DIDN'T GET MY WAY, DIDN'T MEAN I STOPPED GLORIFYING AND REPRESENTING GOD. Boom! I never become not-a-Christian...I'm always supposed to glorify Him, and I will ALWAYS need His hand of guidance in my life (attitude, words, actions, decisions). so there it is, my very long thought for the day. enjoy and I'll be back soon. :) Comments are closed.
