Waking up on the wrong side of the bed

I woke up this morning to:
1. Greyson climbed in my bed and wet through his pullups
2. Both kids begging me to impatiently help them go "potty cuz they're scared of monsters" for a good 30 minutes.

So I woke up, made the only thing that brings me joy.. Dunkin Donuts French Vanilla coffee in hopes that that will at least turn wrong side to good side.... not really.

Looking around I realized that today was definitely laundry day before church and then "cleaning day after church...no procrastination Maressa, get started"... Low and behold, my uncle decided to leave 9 large boxes right in front of the garage door, blocking my entourage of 6 loads of laundry....Ugh.

I immediately called my mother (since that's what us grownups do when we want to kick and scream) and demanded for her to call uncle and tell him those boxes must be moved immediately or else Goodwill! (wowsa, can you say BRAT?)

Right then and there, I wanted to cry. I seriously stood there in the kitchen and wanted to bawl, I didn't understand why? I spoke to myself and said,"why are you so upset?" Go spend time with GOD woman!

As I opened up Proverbs31Ministries.com, God completely shot me in the heart. http://proverbs31devotions.blogspot.com/search/label/Contentment (please repost the link and read the devo for the day) Title was "Its still a Good Day! Really? Really? Really?

God amazes me everyday. Never fails, He really never does.

Here it is.

I can choose to let these mishaps design the rest of my day. I can kick and scream, take it out on Grey and Bella, skip church, call Jason and pick on him, be a couch potato and just be miserable. Right? Since who wants to wake up to all these obstacles and Murphy's Law riding against me? OORRRR I can take it as a grain of salt and MAKE THE CHOICE to be at peace! Geez, I look around and have everything yet I was choosing to take out the bad on others. Wow.

Wrong side of the bed? That gives me no reason at all to be ungrateful or lack any type of peace.

Today I choose to be Grateful, Today I choose to be at peace, Today I choose to embrace, Today I choose to be patient, Today I choose to have a spirit of Love.
