Mornings
I am extremely tired this morning. At two last night Emma called me. When I went in she said she needed to blow her nose. My poor girl was all stuffy and coughing. I got her a drink and a tissue and got back in bed but for the next hour she called me every ten minutes. Finally in an effort to get some sleep I got in bed with her. She was so excited with this new situation that she spent the next hour trying to find a comfortable way to snuggle me while touching my nostrils and eyes. Finally I told her to go to sleep and I went back to my own bed. At 6 she started crying and I ignored her for a few minutes. Josh went to see what was going on when we heard her out of bed and he found that she had pooped her pants and in an effort to clean herself up had gotten it all over the carpet and her legs. After we got the situation under control we all sat down to eat breakfast since we were up early. Josh brought out his guitar and led us in some worship. It was very refreshing. I'm thankful for the way he ministers to me. At first I was annoyed because I wanted to eat breakfast and be in a bad mood. (it's sad but true) He sang this song called Hosanna by Paul Baloche, it says "when we see you we find strength to face the day," so my hope is renewed and I look forward to that strength. I don't like this about myself but something I really struggle with is being unfair to my husband. When he isn't home and I'm thinking about how good God is to me I realize that Josh is his special gift to me. Aside from ofcourse his salvation, Josh has been his most powerful instrument of healing in my life. Through him I have begun to really understand the love of the father. When I think about that I resolve to be so good to him and tell him how wonderful he is, but then when he comes home I am stressed out and I get annoyed at him and then I'm not as good to him as I meant to be. I'm so immature, it is extremly frustrating.
