Today was another crazy ride of a day. unfortunately last night my transmission was acting up and I had to take it to the shop. Then this morning I had to take my boys to the doctor for their yearly physical, and thankfully my dad was available to help since my car was in the shop. My plan was to go to the doctor, then swing by the shop to check on my car and then head to work and take the kids to school. But once again God was getting my attention by taking over my day. We had gone to the doctors office and because of some emergency patients we wound up getting pushed back. But I needed the physical for the boys daycare, so we had to stay. It wound up that the boys had to have some immunizations, which kept us even longer, and before I knew it my day was spent.
once again God was taking over how my day went, and this time I was able to have victory and enjoy my day because I let go of my control over it. Because you see, He wants all of me. He wants to be able to say to me "Tina, this day is mine, and if you are willing to give me control over it, I can make it great!" And It was great because I got to have a good day with my kids and my dad, and I may not get many more of those.
My dad has an incurable condition that causes him to be in pain all the time. His liver is permanently damaged, and he has gotten to the point where his body is deteriorating quickly. Though I wish it were not true, my father will pass away at some point, and I have no control over when that takes place. So just like the days where I don't have control over how things go, I can either have a bad attitude and ruin the time I do have with him, or I can let God take control and do it His way. There is a song I love by Francesca Battestelli that talks about letting God write your story. "I want my history to be your legacy." "I want my life to say, I let you write your story on my heart!"

Ecclesiastes 10:3 says "Fools in the road have no sense of direction. The way they walk tells the story: "There goes the fool again."
