Wonderful Wednesday

Today was a great day

My life is truly wonderful

The thing is

today was quite UN eventful

and that is what made it wonderful

I find it neat

that here on ash Wednesday

I am feeling peace

I feel like sermons at church have really spoken to me lately

big time

I will blog in detail about them in my devotional posts

but really

as our ministers are talking about letting go

and letting god

and knowing that we are sinners

and that we are not perfect

and that lent is a time of sadness

but also a time

to realize that no

we don't have it together

none of us do

and because of that

it reminds us

that we need god

I feel like i got it all done today

because I did not set myself up

to get it all done

we just did

It was wonderful when...

we went to story time

when baylen would take a running start and leap into my arms

when Samantha layed on me in church

when bo said it was the best day of his life (when nothing really happened)

when my mom took baylen just for a bit

and I thought it was okay

and I was a little ahead of schedule

with all that needed to get done

a clean house

nice weather

feeling simple

really simple

I have so many plans for lent

so many

but in a simple way

I plan to do everything in moderation

food

thinking

everything

I will not over indulgent in anything

and that includes trying to be just right

all the time

I will take help

I will not eat too much of anything

I will let others do

and not try to over do

I will pray

pray a lot

and try and form a habit

of showing God how much I need him

and will give him each day

I will do what has to be done

and if it does not get done

that is okay too

I will live simply

And I know

I will fail

I will forget

I will neglect

I will start over

because that is what it is all about

knowing that we are not perfect

and that we will mess up

the key is

that you try again

over and over again

and one day

that will stick

and we got it

and we can move on

trying to make something else work

until we lose the first habit

and start yet again

So this lent

I will like a life where I know I need God

I can't do it on my own

I am not better then anyone

and no one is better then me

I will ask for help

I will help

I will live and love

simply

Knowing

I will fail

many

many times

but I will

keep

trying
