I just caught myself saying something that I am trying not to say (especially with this blog in mind): "why is everything so hard?" Really? Hard? My life? I don't think so. I hate when I say this about my blessed, easy life. It was only a low tire that brought out this exasperated comment. As soon as I made this statement, I apologized to my husband and immediately thought of Nasra, the 13 year old girl that I sponsor through Compassion International. She lives in Tanzania and I have corresponded and provided assistance for her for 7 or so years. Her lifestyle and mine are vastly different. My tiny problems are nothing compared to the challenges she faces!
I am grateful that my heart is training my brain to take reality checks. When I get frustrated over something small and insignificant, I try to pause to think about the problem and if it is really worth the worry. I am definitely still working on incorporating this day to day, but I am slowly making progress.
I pray that I will be better; that I will focus on a bigger picture and take a moment to appreciate all that I have today and everyday in my blissful life.
