Today is one of those days where I am struggling. I don't know what we're doing here in Los Angeles. I can name about 100 reasons why we should logically be somewhere else, and only about 3 as to why we should be here. But one of the reasons we are here is because we believe it is where God has called us to be at this stage in our life.
And that's really the only reason that matters.
The way I want to deal with the feelings I have today would be to stay in bed, cover my head with a blanket, and sleep all day and hope that when I woke up I wouldn't feel this way anymore.
But, unfortunately (or really, fortunately, because what good would it do to stay in bed all day), I have 3 little kids to take care of so I HAVE to get up and face the music.
And I am reminded of the fact that I won't feel like this in heaven - so this is the only time that I will have the opportunity and privilege to offer to my God this sacrifice of praise. This sacrifice of joy. It's not something I want to do, but earth is the only place where I can do this and it will be a sweet smelling aroma to Him.
So, I'm cranking up my iTunes and turning on the piano, and I am going to sing.
Songs of praise to my God.

Girl, I am TOTALLY feeling you! Praying for you and right there with you!
Thanks! It's nice to know that I'm not alone in this stuff - although I am sorry you are going through it as well! I pray blessings to you!
