I took today as it came. I did so-so meeting my goals this morning. Ate well for breakfast. I got in my morning 15, including my One-Ups. We did well getting our school work done. Once we came up for lunch, however, I nursed that baby and zonked right out. I slept through lunch, so sort of grazed my way to dinner and then just didn't care. So, I started well, ended lazy and I don't really even mind. I'm not sure if that is good or bad, but I know I'm not guilting myself out for allowing myself to relax a bit and rest.
I could have used a workout or long walk today. But, I took the evening to get in some reading, research and a lot of prayer about a pressing issue facing our family. I feel like my heart is getting all the workout it can handle and I just needed to rest a bit to process all of these thoughts.
So, I don't even know what I'm reporting except that today was a little off. I'll likely have other days like that, but it doesn't mean I have failed or that I'm doomed. It just means that I needed to deal with life a little differently. I want to be sure to record this day so that I can remember that while it's okay to rest a bit, I still need to get back up and press on towards the goal. Tomorrow is a new day. One that holds all sorts of blessings and surprises the Lord has planned for me. I'm grateful for the rest He provided to me today so that I can be prepared for all He has planned.
Even our Savior needed rest. You are absolutely right Tracy. Sometimes, we need to have something different happen for a day (or two). You are not doomed. You did not fail. You just tended to what needed tending to. I am glad you are wise enough to see that and will anticipate cheering you on as you get "back" and jump in it again. (((hugs)))
ReplyDeleteDon't feel bad! You did not fail at ALL today.Failure will only come if you quit.You are not quitting but will be back in the game tomorrow! You are doing GREAT!!
ReplyDeleteHope you're doing okay, Tracy! Been thinking about you and praying things are fine! Miss your posting here! (hugs) :o)
ReplyDeleteAww, what a blessing that you are checking in on me, Sue!! I just posted (well, RE-posted because I have a silly computer). I can't tell you how encouraging it is to have you cheering me on.
ReplyDeleteThank you Brandy Lynn and Angie for your encouragement as well.
I'm learning so much through this, including what a gift I have in the support the Lord provides through all you dear women. :) Your words, hugs and prayers are precious to me!
