One of those Mornings

Hi friends,

Today is just one of those mornings for me. I don't know if you have ever had mornings when it seems as if everything that could go wrong has indeed gone wrong. Well! This morning did not begin too well for me as first of all I awakened late with what seems to be the continuation of a headache which I went to bed with last night. I had promised to be ready to go to the hospital with my friend this morning but it was her second phone call that finally aroused me from sleep. I answered the phone but she was unable to hear me as it seems to be malfunctioning so she kept shouting 'hello hello hello!' So much for my headache.

I finally managed to complete the call, had a brief devotion by myself and went downstairs (my husband had already left). I was stunned to see that my daughter (I'm in the process of adopting her) was not ready for school. According to her she had taken her journal home yesterday and was unable to find it. She needed to take it to school with her. I joined the search party but it soon became evident to me that the journal was nowhere in the house. Of course, by this time Shan (short for Shanique) was in tears. She was in no mood for breakfsst and I was determined that she had to eat before leaving for school. By the time she ate she was late for school and of course I was not amused. I really hope she finds her jounal at school because she really put a lot of effort into making it neat and attractive. If she doesn't, much of her information will be missing. Ah well! When she comes this evening I will hear how her day turned out.

You may have realized by now that I was unable to accompany my friend to the hospital. I hope all turns out well for her. The Good Book says: 'In everything give thanks for this is the will of God in Christ Jesus concerning you.' I'm in the process of doing just that. There must be some good reason why Shan lost her journal, I woke up late, I was unable to accompany my friend and I had a headache that made my head feel heavy. No doubt I'll find out all about it in the sweet by and by.

I'm going to get myself some breakfast now and trust God to work out the rest of my day. What a blessing it is to be alive to experience mornings when things go wrong.

Have yourselves a blessed day. Love you all.
