I love my life!!! I really do!! Absolutely no doubt! I Love my life. . . Let’s be honest, I do love my life but there are days that I wish morning would NEVER come. But of course it does, and it is usually welcomed with a little tiny voice of I’m hungry. Or a baby crying in his bed cause he has pooped or peed so much the night before he is almost swimming in it in his crib. Yay for me. Not all days are bad, well depends on your definition of bad. If I can make it through a day of eating at least once and my kids getting 3 decent meals and no trips to the doctor I’m good. I’ve often wondered if it will get better as the kids get older but as I hear each new age group brings about its own unique problems. Great, that’s exactly what I wanted to hear. I wonder if Jesus ever felt this way? Actually there was a day in Jesus’s life that he knew exactly what his day was to behold. Granted it wasn’t changing poopy diapers, cleaning up after a potty training 3 year old, trying to do something that resembles “school” to a 4 year old, Hearing I’m hungry/I’m thirsty 5 seconds AFTER you sit down for a break, doing an infinitely amount of laundry. Searching on pintrest for a good kid friendly easy healthy meal, just to get it completely turned down at dinner and then realizing as you lay your head on your pillow that night (finally) the closet thing you came to a shower today was the splashes from the kids as you gave them their nightly bath. No he didn’t have a day quite like that, BUT he did go out into the middle of the woods, got down on his hands and knees and cried out to God to change his day . . . Now that I CAN relate to!!!!!!
Matthew 26:
36-38 Then Jesus went with them to a garden called Gethsemane and told his disciples, “Stay here while I go over there and pray.” Taking along Peter and the two sons of Zebedee, he plunged into an agonizing sorrow. Then he said, “This sorrow is crushing my life out. Stay here and keep vigil with me.”
39 Going a little ahead, he fell on his face, praying, “My Father, if there is any way, get me out of this. But please, not what I want. You, what do you want?”
40-41 When he came back to his disciples, he found them sound asleep. He said to Peter, “Can’t you stick it out with me a single hour? Stay alert; be in prayer so you don’t wander into temptation without even knowing you’re in danger. There is a part of you that is eager, ready for anything in God. But there’s another part that’s as lazy as an old dog sleeping by the fire.”
42 He then left them a second time. Again he prayed, “My Father, if there is no other way than this, drinking this cup to the dregs, I’m ready. Do it your way.”
43-44 When he came back, he again found them sound asleep. They simply couldn’t keep their eyes open. This time he let them sleep on, and went back a third time to pray, going over the same ground one last time.
45-46 When he came back the next time, he said, “Are you going to sleep on and make a night of it? My time is up, the Son of Man is about to be handed over to the hands of sinners. Get up! Let’s get going! My betrayer is here.”
