Do not act in haste.

I guess I didn't have to wait too long.  Sometimes, joy really does literally come in the 'morning'.  Part of blogging, (or open journaling as I like to call it sometimes), for me, is that it is a way for me to pour out my feelings and hopefully deal with them in a healthier way.  Feelings are so fickle and at times VERY untrustworthy.  Good thing I did not act out on my feelings yesterday.  I know I would have regretted it.

I went to bed needing a bath, and this morning I feel as if I was given one while I was sleeping.  How refreshing!  Who knows what today may bring?  Well, HE knows.  A reminder that I must continue to persevere. 

So, I thank my Heavenly Father for giving me a much needed bath and ask for strength to let the dirt fall off me today.

My husband sent me a great reminder regarding this this morning.

"If the world hates you, keep in mind that it hated me first.  If you belonged

to the world, it would love you as its own.  As it is, you do not belong to 

the world, but I have chosen you out of the world.  That is why the world hates you.
