Rainy days and Mondays...

Actually its just Mondays that get me down. Due to some circumstances that happened over the course of the past several months, the fact that I work three jobs, and the fact of it being Monday, I don't look forward to most Mondays. It is Sunday night and I need to get up at 5:00am tomorrow to get some things done that were left from Saturday. I should be headed to bed but I haven't yet because the sooner I go to bed the sooner it is Monday. I know it sounds crazy and that I am responding to the situation the wrong way, but Mondays are a real struggle. Now don't get me wrong, I'll get up go to work and have a normal day but it will be a constant battle and I will be glad to lay my head down at the end of the day.

Here's the clincher; I'm not sure how I would be if it weren't for God's grace. I know that because of what Jesus Christ has done for me and because God's mercy is new every morning I can struggle through life's difficulties, reap the benefits of perseverance and experience the joy of the Lord. Yes, life is full of the unexpected and difficult circumstances and we all must go through them; but we need not go through them in fear and dread.
