What does victory look like?
This morning is a battle of the mind that I intend to win. Honestly, I am writing to find peace in the midst of absolute shambles in our home. Disorder creates lost things. It’s 6 am and these are questions Kris, or I have asked out loud so far this morning.
1. “Why is my wedding ring not where I put it? I put it in this little heart bowl. PANIC!”
2. “Where are my shoes?”
3. “Have you seen the Listerine?”
We are currently painting our entire home. VICTORY! However, here lies the battle, I need to change my attitude and be thankful that we are able to paint our home. I need to be grateful I have someone painting who patient with me, cares and is very meticulous. However, to be honest with you all, I was done with it all this morning. DONE. DONE. DONE.
We have two rooms that are finished, and I do not want to go in either of them because they are pristine, but we had to sleep somewhere last night. The kitchen is ok, but who wants to cook. LOL. The rest of the rooms…UGH!
At this point in my thought process, I have a choice, victory, or defeat. I can choose to be stressed or I can choose to see blessed. I can elect to continue down the road of discouragement and defeat or I can put on my big girl pants and march toward victory in the blessing.
I enCOURAGE you to turn your frown upside down no matter what you are going through! Mine was a little battle this morning but my choices could have led me into a good or bad day. I resolved victory in the chaos.
