Attitude

“You are God.
You command the oceans
You write on the heavens
You restore my soul
You are God.”

I’m up late, cleaning the kitchen and feeling sorry for myself. Why? I just feel like I have a ton of things to do, and little or no help from the household. Join me in my pity party? I don’t blame you for not. I’m listening to Jeff Deyo’s “Unveil” CD, and trying to adjust my attitude. The last thing my husband (sarcastically) said as I huffed out of the bedroom a little while ago was, “Go have your little tizzy. You’re entitled.”

Entitled? Of course I’m not! Martha was WRONG in being upset about the workload. Her priorities were skewed. Mine are…skewed? I don’t know. I just know that four teenagers, two young kids, homeschooling, and a husband has me maxed out. Jesus told Martha that Mary had chosen what was best. If Jesus were sitting here at my kitchen table, I wouldn’t have to think twice about what I need to do. Instead, I sit here alone in a half clean kitchen. The same kitchen that I have been attempting to clean since I finished canning applesauce on Sunday evening. Today is Thursday. And I’m having a pity party.

So let’s see what the Word says about this. If I start with Titus 2 I’ll just have to get back up and finish cleaning the kitchen right away. Sigh. I think I’ll look at that tomorrow. Tonight I need a pick-me-up.

Galatians 6:9 says “Let us not become weary in doing good, for at the proper time we will reap a harvest if we do not give up.”

“But those who hope in the Lord will renew their strength. They will soar on wings like eagles; they will run and not grow weary, they will walk and not be faint.” Isaiah 40:31

Obviously the problem is with me, because the Lord doesn’t lie and I know those promises are for me! I love Jesus and I love my family. If you think of me this week, please pray for me. I’m tired.

“My life is not my own. My heart belongs to you alone.”
