Attitude in all situations

Alright..this week I am on a God theme. Go figure...being a Christian an all ;)
I have not been posting much christian thought lately so I suppose I'm catching up.

So...I think we are on an Attitude theme....

Although it is important to acknowledge God when things are going well...it is even more important when things are crappy. And let's be honest here....just because I have the Lord, my life is not all candy and roses. Crap happens and happens all the time. However I have a different outlook on things because I know that I am still in His hands. He is looking for me to acknowledge Him in ALL THINGS.
I mean really....If my life was always great would I ever search for Him? Why would I reach out if all was always well??

The test of my Christian Faith came Three years ago when I was lying in a hospital bed 6 months pregos with baby number 2...I had just had a tumor removed from my spinal cord and was paralyzed from the waist down. The docs were amazed how well the baby was doing and told me I MAY never be able to walk again.

Hmmm... O.K so what did I do? What was I TO DO??
I did all I could and I prayed. I prayed that I would be o.k with whatever happened to my legs. I mean really...I was alive and so was the precious little baby I had swimming in my belly.

So was that a test really??? maybe. I look at it as a moment in my life when I realized that I really was not freaking out. I was calm because I knew that God had a plan..he was there and I would be just fine...no matter what.

He did have a reason...that entire thing happened so I would learn to accept help and slow down a little in life. The first being the most difficult. So thank you Lord...for trials and tribulations.

I pray that I continue to seek you always...no matter what, and recognize you working in ALL THINGS. And that my attitue reflects your grace,mercy and glory
