Day 16: It's All Good

This post will be short and sweet as it's very late and I've had a long day. I find it hilarious when God gives us a chance to practice what we preach. Tonight was the Opening Night of my daughter's play and I woke up with a terrible cold. I said to myself, "Really?!" Then I laughed. As if today wasn't going to be busy enough, I had to do everything with my nose running like a faucet, feeling like my head was going to explode. And yet, just like He does every day, God gave me the strength I needed to get everything done for my family and make it to Hailey's play. I had to use my wheelchair, and my nose looks like Rudolph's, but hey, I made it!

I wouldn't have missed my baby's play for the world. She did such a great job and I was so proud of her. I'm praying that tomorrow will be a day of rest before we have the encore performance tomorrow night. I would really like to be there for the second performance.

Once again, I am so grateful for Jesus and the strength he gives me every day. I wish I wasn't sick. I wish I would have remembered to paint Sarah and I's nails this afternoon. (We wanted to match Hailey.) I wish I didn't have dishes all over my kitchen right now. But you know what? None of that matters. I got to see my daughter overcome her fears and play her part perfectly tonight. I got to give her flowers and see her face light up when she spotted us during the "bows." Tomorrow is a new day. The dishes will get done and nails will be painted. It's all good.  Until tomorrow then...

Love,

Tracie

Yes, my soul, find rest in God;
    my hope comes from him.

Truly he is my rock and my salvation;
    he is my fortress, I will not be shaken.

My salvation and my honor depend on God;
    he is my mighty rock, my refuge.

Trust in him at all times, you people;
    pour out your hearts to him, for God is our refuge. ~ Psalm 62:5-8
