Right now, I am supposed to be at Bible Study.  However, on the way there, one of the kids threw up.  So, back home we came.  I was reviewing my day...packed up everyone and left home @ 8:30 am.  Went to gym, had a hassle with membership, only got to exercise 20 min.  Then took oldest to meet with Pastor.  Afterwards we headed up to take my mother in law out for a bit.  First I get hit with a new high gas price.  I decide to put in a few gallons to get me through the day, hoping the price might come down.  Get there, and she is sleeping.  So I wake her up and begin the process of getting her to the bathroom, bathed, and dressed.  By that tim eits lunch, so we take her for lunch.  Later we take her back and we begin the long trek home.  I get off the exit and look at my gas gage...25 miles left and I only have to drive 8, great.  We pull in to wait for my hubby, who calls 10 min later to say he has to drive up north with parts immediately.  So, I rally the crankies into the van and to get moving to do the last bit of errands we would have done with the hubby.  I look up to see I am completely out of gas.  We all say a prayer that I make it the 3.5 miles to the station, which I do.  This is the same station I was at earlier that had raised their prices while I was there.  The price has again been raised, 15 cents just today!  Then I can't get any gas.  It seemed people had been pumping the unleaded so much to try to fill up before the next gas increase, that there was no more regular.  So I HAD to buy the next grade up!  Grrrr!  I was cranky at this point.  A bit later is when my daughter got sick.  So we turned around to come home.  I get everyone grub, call the hubby to let him know, and check on my sick child.  Then I decided to come here to do some blog reading to unwind and decompress from my day. 

Here's what I found first.

Oh boy did this ring true for me at the moment.  It is so easy to let a chaotic day pull us away from passionately pursuing Christ.  Throughout the day, I was grumpy and crankly about everything...driving, gas prices, traffic, the long day, etc.  I must say I wasn't a very good disciple through this day.  Thankfully, I have this evening to sit down with the children, ask God for forgiveness, and spend tim ein His word. 

God thank you for the ability to renew myself at any moment throught a day.  Thank you for waiting for me to make you the top priority once a gain.  O mericful Father, continue to work through me and mold me into your likeness.  Amen!
