Today was one of those days that challenge. You know the kind - things didn't go right, I could not focus, the kids were not behaving...the list goes on and on. However, James tells me to consider it all joy when I fall into various trials knowing that the testing of my faith produces patience! Apparently, I'm in very desperate need! He tells me that patience will, if I let it, have it's perfect work in me that I might be perfect and complete, lacking nothing. This picture represents my attempt to see the rainbow through the storm. I was trying to work (to no avail) and was extremely distracted by the huge pile of dishes in the kitchen. "Why are there ALWAYS dishes?!" I thought to myself. Thankfully, on the heels of that thought, came one that melted my heart. There are things in my life that will always be there...and not in a good way. But there are things that will not always be there, and I'll miss them when they're gone. Shelby's crayons and coloring notebook were sitting next to me as I sat at the computer. They will not always be there. *Snap* These are things I want to remember from even my most challenging days. These are the things that are worth it.
Today, this is life as I know it. - A
