knock, knock, knock, was the sound that awakened me today, another day of sleeping in longer than I wanted to. 9:45 am my phone clock says, I dread going to see who it is, I am sure its another bill collector. God I hope my little girls dont get up and come running downstairs, right now the house is just quiet enough to seem as if no one is home. Who could it be anyway, curiosity gets the best of me I must explore. I hop out of bed looking for some appropriate clothes to put on, there is no way I am answering the door looking like this, where is my headscarf? Timidly and carefully tiptoeing to peak through the blinds of my living room watching the peep hole wondering if anyone can see me. Oh shoot its the inspector, I missed the inspection I had this morning. I could still answer the door and let him in but I look like I just woke up and I havent even brushed my teeth. I dont want to do that and look so unprepared I will just wait for him to leave. I tip toe back to my room still hoping my girls dont wake up. And he still sitting out there, I hope he will just leave a notice to reschedule. As I plop on my bed I release a heavy sigh laced with frustration and being sick and tired of being sick and tired. Lord what am I going to do? I dont want to start the day like this but already my heart matches the gray gloomy skies. Get it together girl is what I am telling myself but what I am feeling is just not cooperating today. I really just want to climb back in the bed, I try to convince myself why not, its not like I have anything to do today cant go anywhere no car no money to catch the bus. I release another sigh, okay I really need to get up and move around at this rate I will be depressed before I even have my morning coffee. Hmm morning coffee just the thought brings to me a tinge of happiness and satisfaction. Well at least be grateful for the little things is what I hear as I make my way to the bathroom. Your right Lord I can be grateful for the little things, and so I began to thank God for all the things that are going right in my life. We have electricity I was able to pay that bill yesterday praise God, we have food and plenty of it, we have clothes and shoes, the kids get to school safe everyday and return everyday, Amen Lord Amen! Boy perception makes a difference things can always be worse than they really are. The best thing to do on gloomy days is to just smile through it all. At the end of the day God is greater and He is an ever present help. Things may not always go the way we want them to when we want them to. But its important to stay tuned into to God so he can direct our paths. His word says Trust in the Lord with all your heart, And lean not on your own understanding; 6 In all your ways acknowledge Him, And He shall direct your paths. proverbs 3:5-6
