Morning Song

Good morning, God.
This is your day.
I am your child.
Show me your way.

Seth learned this song at Bible Study Fellowship. I don't know if its an old one or a new one, but it has become my go to morning song.

These 4 short lines not only make it easy to remember and super likely to get stuck in my head, but also a really good way to help me refocus on what's important.

Every day belongs to God and I need him to help me to live it to the fullest according to His plans and by His power.  I need to invite Him into my day and He will make it so much better than when I struggle to do it all on my own.

I can do all things because I belong to Him and He's got my back. No matter if I started my morning being impatient and frustrated or with a good attitude, I can always start over. I am His child and that makes me valuable.

God's way is better than mine and I need to choose it. God will guide me and show me if I will get my focus off of me and onto Him.

Last Day

The kids go back to school tomorrow. I go back to work. Time to get back in the groove.

I'm actually kind of excited. I know. I'm weird like that.

The break has been nice. I've been working off and on in a kind of sparatic pattern around the holidays. I haven't had to concern myself about half the time with getting people ready or feeding Julia on a schedule that best accommodates my work/pumping (although she still been eating about every 4 hours throughout the day.) It's been pretty low key around here.

So for the last day before normal life hits again, I have a list of what I'd like to accomplish-
1. Take down Christmas decorations. The kids will help with the tree so it shouldn't take too long I don't think.
2. Finish getting laundry caught up. We are down to about a load and a half.
3. Go through Seth's toys and separate what he doesn't play with any more.

I think that's all. Doesn't sound too daunting really. Just gotta get motivated. I should probably start by getting out of bed. Ha!Ha!
