Ever have those mornings where you just feel flat out frumpy? Your clothes don't fit right, your running behind, you have a tons of things you are trying to remember, you feel a million times short of beautiful, and all you can think about is how insignificant you are? Welcome to my morning! FRUMPY. And what an irritating feeling.
All morning I have been irritable, annoyed, grouchy, and feeling as though I am completely insignificant. My hair is a mess, I have no nice clothes, my dog didn't get to walk as long as he should have, the apartment is a disaster, the car out of gas, and I'm running late on top of it all!! AHHH!!! So many feelings and thoughts of negativity. And all over what? Absolutely nothing. It's just the obnoxious mood I woke up in; but it's not the mood I plan to stay in...
"Therefore I tell you, do not worry about your life, what you will eat or drink; or about your body, what you will wear. Is not life more important than food, and the body more important than clothes?...But seek first his kingdom and his righteousness, and all these things will be given to you as well." Matthew 6:25 & 33
Reading this verse over and over and over, until I forget about all the negative bullshit my mind is creating. Focusing on the greatness of God, the beauty of love, and the beauty that this great God has placed with in me... THAT is where my focus needs to lie.
Sometimes we let the worst get the best of us. But it is important to remember not to worry, not to put yourself down, and not let your mind and body become stressed. We have a great God. We live in a beautiful place. We each hold unique beauty. If we relax and trust, the things we need will be given to us and come our way.
NOW THAT'S A GOD THAT LOVES US.
