I learn so much everyday...


Everyday I find myself learning so much from my mistakes. I fall short of God's holiness in every aspect of my life. How depressing it becomes when I feel that I will never be like He is. YET, there is always a new day coming. I look so forward to tomorrows that I often forget what happened today. I am so grateful that God's mercy is new every morning. I can look back and be happy that yesterday is passed and I can start fresh today. This week I experienced a humbling event in my life. I reacted so selfishly in front of my visiting family members, that I failed to see how I hurt some one's feelings. Although apologies come naturally for me, I had a difficult time with this one. My husband helped me remember that it is not important WHO was right, but rather that I DO right. All in all everything turned out fine. I can not fathom how God must think when He watches us daily as we fail Him miserably in so many areas of our lives. I am so challenged everyday to do better than the day before.

wow, becky, you have no idea how much i needed to read that today!! I needed to be reminded that God's mercies ARE new each day, and that He loves me no matter what. I was talking to Zach about this very thing last night, and comparing it to his relationship with me and randy, but I failed to take time to realize it is the same with my relationship with the Lord as well. It's so hard to not get caught up in day to day battles and struggles, and stop to remember Who gave us the day, and Who has already defeated those battles and conquered our struggles. Thank God for grace, for mercy, and for Godly friends! I love ya! :)
