Rolling with the Punches

Wow!  To say it has been awhile would be a true understatement!  Life has certainly crept in with all of it's craziness and chaos.  Back with just a quick note, more for my own benefit and possibly to help my whole 1-2 followers!  :)

Yesterday was just a day for the grumps.  For me.  For the boys.  Daddy had a long, hard day working until 1/2 hour before the boys' bedtime.  Even the weather felt grumpy and overcast for most of the day.  I admit, I let it get the best of me.  I was sad over dumb things and grouchy for even dumber reasons.

Today, God brought this verse into my devotional time.  "God will fight for you.  Just stay calm." (Exodus 14:14)  

Really if you think about it, it's pretty incredible.  The Creator of the entire universe is not only caring for you, he's FIGHTING for you.  He wants to give you the desires of your heart and make you happy, like any parent wants for their child.  It kind of goes hand-in-hand with the verse from Psalms. "Be still and know that I am God."  Be still, my child.  Let me work.
 
Life sometimes gets you down and out.  And it's easy to let it, at least for me.  I am keeping this verse close to my heart so on days like yesterday I can remember that He's in my corner with gloves on; ready to fight.  Circumstances will still have me on the ropes sometimes, but it will not be a TKO!
