We have some days where
it is the little things that make our day great such as a smile from a
stranger, an encouraging text or email, all the laundry is washed and put away,
or having some quiet time. Okay the last one may be huge but either way we all
moments that can make our day. For a while I was not been feeling that way. I
have felt overwhelmed, lost in chaos, and feeling like I cannot get ahead of
anything.
What are you grateful for today?

Until recently.
Yesterday my heart was
filled with joy and I was a conqueror!
The little things were
adding up to big things. God was with me. Instead of trying to do things on my
own I allowed the day to take its course. I was setting no time limits. I did
not add pressure to myself if certain chores did not get done.
I did have a few items
that needed to be done such as grocery shopping and three assignments due by
11:59pm. So I tackled each item and focused solely on that item. I did not worry
about what I needed to do next because I would then become overwhelmed and
begin to stress.
I completed all my
shopping and all that was left was my homework. Three assignments due with five
hours to work on them. Stressful? I think so. That is what happens when I procrastinate.
When will I ever learn? I began to work diligently and only took a break to put
our blessings to bed.
As I was working I
could see God working. I could not get over how easy the assignments were. My
instructors basically gave all the answers. Maybe the instructors always do and
I do not realize it or God was clearly showing me the answers. I am going with
the latter.
My last assignment was
turned in 15 minutes before the deadline. No assignments were late. I conquered my day with His help.
Sometimes it is the
little things that make us grateful.
