Regular Old Tuesday

I don't know where in life I learned how to get bored easily and become unsatisfied quickly. It's a horrible trait, one of the things I hate most about myself.

It's so easy to become unhappy with life's circumstances, which leads to bitterness. Bitter. Something I'm deathly afraid of becoming. I often find myself unhappy with how my day is going, how I'm keeping up with the house, how I'm teaching the kids, how good (or not good) of a wife I'm being.

The good news is that God has a plan and a promise. Even for the "lowly house wife" or the mom of two kids, or the business owner, or the sister. Me. God has a plan and a purpose to use me in my "mundane" daily activities. So whenever I get caught up or unsatisfied with how my life is at the moment, I'm immediately stopped in my destructive thoughts and encouraged that I get to be a part of building His Kingdom in heaven. His perfect and beautiful Kingdom.

Now that's something I can get excited about (and, of course, moments like these when they aren't trying to kick or pinch each other).
