When I woke up this morning I was really excited for my day. I was going to have breakfast with my best friend, hang with her for a while, then cook with my sister and watch the Chargers win a playoff game. But it seems like everything has gone wrong. Don't get me wrong - it wasn't a horrible day. It's just that nothing went according to plan. Marla and I went to Starbucks for our coffee. They were out of sugar-free vanilla syrup so I got sf hazelnut, which I normally love. But my drink was terrible! I tried to keep my cool and not freak out and complain like I honestly usually do. So then we went next door to get bagels and I didn't spend the minimum so I got charged a 50 cent fee. Okay again not a big deal...not what I wanted but whatever it's only 50 cents. Again tried to keep my cool and be nice. As I was waiting for my bagel, I felt my cross necklace and I kept telling myself to be an example for Christ. Then we went to JoAnn's fabrics. But everyone and their grandmother was buying fabric and we had to wait 40 minutes just to get Marla's fabric cut. Third time - not what we wanted but we made the best of the situation. The afternoon continued that way everywhere I went. I was making chicken wings - didn't marinate them long enough or add enough hot sauce so they were alright, but not amazing. Then the Chargers sucked and threw away the game. All day things were so blah but not amazing. So as I'm waiting for Marla to get home from work, I was reading Psalm 34 and here's how it starts:
"I will bless the Lord at all times; his praise shall continually be in my mouth."
Totally the verse for the day. Nothing went right, but I'm still praising God. I'm alive and well. I have eternal life. I have amazing friends. I am in San Diego. I have a super fun and sweet sister. I am blessed by the Lord and so I give Him praise. Even when my day doesn't go as I planned it,
God is still good.
