New

This will likely be short. I'm feeling bad for not blogging all week, but I have been sick since Tuesday night so...that's my excuse.

While I'm down with only a head cold, it seems like the black plague because I'm pregnant. The only two medications my doctor told me were safe for the stuffiness aren't doing a lick of good. I really just want to lay around and watch movies all day, but I'm a mom of two other monsters, so that's not really very realistic. None of this has anything to do with anything except to say that my word of inspiration for this week is new.

We're studying Ecclesiastes in my women's Bible study, and this week we were talking about Gods mercies being new every day. It's a good thing too, or we may never get up in the morning. While I may feel like death warmed over, and am only sleeping a few hours at night, I am reminded that when the sun rises God's love and mercy starts all over again.
In highschool one of the popular Christian songs my friends and I liked said it simply: "Every day is a new day, I'm thankful for every breath I take. I won't take it for granted, so I learn from my mistakes." Its actually quite true. Every day IS a new day. I don't have to remember how many times I yelled at my kids yesterday. I don't have to remember that I didn't run the dishwasher, and I forgot to move the clothes to the dryer. I don't have to remember that I forgot to do my daily Bible study before I went to bed. I get to wake up to a day full of new possibilities, challenges, and blessings. While I may still have to run the dishwasher, and wash clothes again, I don't have to let yesterdays failures dictate the attitude of my new day.
So while I'm sick, and not accomplishing anything at all, except making through several episodes of Hart of Dixie (which, if you don't watch, you need to), I am reminded that tomorrow is a new chance to do something different. Not only a new chance to do the mundane household chores that plague my very being :) but a chance to do something to show my children that yesterday is past, today is new! Life lessons in the little things right?
Have a blessed NEW day! I hope that wasn't too jumbled and repetitive, I did just take some Benadryl. :)
