You need a Shower!!!

There are a few actions that each of us do either daily or every two days...I know that sometimes there are super masculine men (like my hubby) that try to go 3 days with no shower, or super busy moms that accidentally go 3 days without a shower (like me today...sorry...but it's true)  Well, since the need for a shower was DESPERATE I decided to start my day off with a nice, hot shower!! Let me tell you...That is a good feeling! But, really, while I was relaxing/ waking up from a rejuvenating sleep I was thinking..."God, please help today to be a GREAT day...Please help me to watch my words and not be quick to anger/frustration when talking to Brant...Please give me understanding when it comes to communicating with Cade, help me to see the times when he is learning new things. Help me to love my family like you do!"  Then I felt as though Christ (through my shower) was washing me clean of any negativity, or stressful thought that could be easily turned into a sore spot for me today. You know...that is exactly what He does when we are baptized...washes us clean and makes us new again! That is what we need to let Him do for us everyday (or every other day) when we shower...Give our day to Him and He will wash away the "dirt" from the day before and help us to start clean today!!  I pray that each of you remember this the next time you are taking a shower!! I pray that it helps you to focus more on letting God be the driver of you car throughout your day!! Lord, Please help those who read this to remember you today, help them know you are in control and that you are the one who gives us another chance to be clean!! Thank you, Lord, for your grace and mercy!! I love you!  I hope you have a great day!!

I love that! I'm glad that I'm not alone since I've always thought of my showers that way :)

All more the reason to put some worship CDs on the boom-box in the bathroom and sing out loud :)

Mesh- You knew the perfect thing to write and have on your blog for the randome (God doing?) times I happen to look upon it.

Thanks again for being the role model of a spirit filled woman :)
