Wednesday.. should I be excited?

Still pinching myself that it is already Wednesday. My mind is actually skipping Thursday and fast forwarding to Friday my second and final vax. Yay!

Anyway.. .

“Lord, Surprise me!”

 I have not verbally prayed that in a long time simply because it eventually became weaved into my system. By weaved into my system I meant I became too comfortable and felt no longer the need to say it verbally.

The sigh may sound demanding, but it really is a one-liner to simply say “Lord, I entrust my day to You.”

Waking up and regularly thinking how I would go about my day I know there will be factors that will affect how my day will turn into.

And it will not most likely ALWAYS turn out as me-favored the way I project it or want it to be.

I need enough space in my heart to accept disappointments and still come home limping but not entirely crushed or unaffected if at all possible.

 I need enough head space to understand that in this world, it is not only I that gets the life’s lessons sometimes I am the instrument for someone else’s “training” in whichever area there is he or she needs working out on.

Most days become predictable eventually and the disappointments do not engulf me, and I throw in a “all in a day’s work” shrug.

I liked the way one pastor I heard say, “was it a good day? I do not know. Good or bad, praise the name of Jesus”.

It is not always easy.

But it has changed my mindset to seeing every day as an adventure or a story. Either I get to know Him better or I get to know myself better or I get to know other people He loves so much.

Finally getting through by far, tough times (some may find small, and some may find not counted as tough times), I have seen and have experienced how God eventually converts those experiences to seeing Him in a different light each time but ever more loving and amazing than before. Every. Single. Time. It was of course, always after the pain that we realize the good in those experiences. And the process is not always fun.

It is those times that get me through the current tough times, too. Of course, in some magnitude, being human and all, I sometimes loose the will to look back at how far He has gotten me through. And loose that oomph to look forward for when the breakthroughs are coming again. I, most of the time, linger on the bad stuff and play it in my head. It takes a conscious decision to will myself out of those thoughts in my head. And also, a conscious decision to make sure I place my trust rightly back on Him.

It was not until I struggled with “Trusting in the Lord with all your heart and lean not on your own understanding ...” that I understood that it is hard to really, actually put my all on Him. I have not perfected it and I doubt anyone would perfect it in a lifetime but it sure as hell makes a difference to start my day entrusting everything in His hands.

The God of the universe who commands the mystical movement of things tangible and intangible that puts me in awe  has got my back. It probably is not easy to chew on and probably alien to most. But it has been tested throughout my lifetime.

So facing Wednesday and aiming to be a good citizen of this world – virtual and real. Treasuring every single answered prayer and anticipating the “yes” to things we are waiting for God to answer, let us see what He has in store for us with much courage and excitement.

We are loved.

Move loved.

Live Loved.

And as people who have recognized that, let us pass it on to others. Let us be loving and kind.

Happy Wednesday! Had to check the calendar if it really is Wednesday. I am amazed how time flies.
