*The Bad Days

Everyone has a bad day...being a Christian woman and mom isn't about being perfect and always having days full of sunshine and rainbows. It’s about those days where you want to just pull the covers over your head and call in sick. It's those days when you stuck your foot in your mouth or you over-reacted and wished that you could jump in a time machine and turn back time. Like...to back when you were a teenager!

Your battle scars – the bad days, the imperfect moments, the times where you were overwhelmed will become the stories that you will ultimately share to teach others. They will be the words of wisdom that you whisper to that new mom about being brave and it will be the story that you tell to that newlywed who just got married and laugh together about your mis-adventures as a new wife. Our bad days often times become our best memories of lessons learned.

Our bad days are in reality pathways to our good days. How would you ever even know if it was a really, really good day if it wasn't for the bad ones?? And believe me...I have had some really bad ones! If today was one of those bad days for you.... just remember that today was just part of your story....but it isn't your whole story. Tomorrow is full of new and wonderful possibilities to get it right...not perfect...but right. So sleep well tonight and know that His mercies are new every morning and open your eyes tomorrow with a clean slate and an opportunity for a do-over.

“Because of the Lord’s great love we are not consumed, for his compassions never fail. They are new every morning; great is your faithfulness. I say to myself, ‘“The Lord is my portion; therefore I will wait for him’” (Lamentations 3:22-24).
