So you had a bad day?

Hi honeys,  I keep not writing what I have planned for you all since being in Louisiana and today is no exception... Just a little bite of reality for today I think. Sometimes I'm guilty of faking it, you know, " how are you today?" Ummm, honestly? Nah... "Oh fab! And you." Meanwhile it's all I can do not to yell "today is sucky," go home, get in my pjs, cuddle with the pup and eat a whole pizza, ha.

Usually it's good to fake it when you're having a bad day... Not everyone needs to know, not even everyone on Facebook, ha! The thing is, we sometimes, while faking it, forget that it's okay to be honest with ourselves and God.  He knows anyway right, but here's the thing, when you're in a relationship where you actually care for someone you want them to share the good and the bad, as much as you don't want a complainer 24/7 you do want them to trust you enough and to trust your love enough to let you know when they're unhappy and what's made them that way... Even if you can't help. And the plus about God, he can always help!

Somehow we've bought into the lie that if we've had a bad day we are just not a mature Christian... Seriously? I mean yes, we should try our best to keep a positive outlook and keep both our eyes and chin up... Up to where our help comes from... Don't forget the simple lesson we teach children as soon as we can, "you can't be positive and happy if you bottle all the bad feelings inside." Yes, there's a time and place but what better time and place that with God and ourselves? You're not a bad Christian, even the bible says you can be angry but just without wrath... Don't take it out on everyone round you but it's natural to be mad, sad, annoyed and glad, just don't camp in the bad spots.

I will lift up mine eyes unto the hills, from whence cometh my help! Psalm 121:1

So, you had a bad day? We'll join the club and talk to Jesus. It may not melt all the bad away but it will give you something else to think about, you'll find comfort and perspective. Listen, we all have those days we'd rather forget, whether it's our mistakes that lead us down the path or not, we have them... Again, just don't camp there. And one last thing to remember, Jesus saw so much value in you that he gave everything for you and he would do it again in a second so you can't be that bad... You're awesome, bad day or not!
