You know what? I'm going to love this day. It doesn't matter that I got just about no sleep and felt really sick this morning. This is actually good, because when I am weakest the Lord is strongest. "I can do all things through Christ who strengthens me." That means I can do well in all the school I have today and have a good attitude when things go wrong, because in my house it's inevitable.
Does anyone else think about or realize how big of a miracle it is for one day to change to the next? Only God has the power to do that. Only He has control over the rising and setting of the sun. He doesn't have to give us another day, another chance. It happens too naturally that we don't even pay attention to the fact that yesterday is gone forever. We just assume tomorrow's coming and think nothing of it, never say "wow, thank you, God. I really don't deserve this." All we ever ask for is more. Why aren't we ever amazed beyond words at what we already have? That is the outlook we should always have. Do we have no joy in the fact that we have God in our hearts? If that were the only thing we ever had, shouldn't we at least be content? "At least being content with God" sounds so snobby, haha. He is so much more than the most we could ever dream of having, yet we have Him.
Anyway, I have to leave for class in fifteen minutes. My head is throbbing, the sun is shining, Jesus loves me. This is going to be a good day.
