Today I woke up feeling...well...tired. I haven't felt this way in a long time!
Since I started on these AdvoCare products, I honestly feel better, sleep better, have more energy, etc.
But, this morning, I was dealing with the aftermath of a restless night. I went to sleep feeling frazzled, anxious, uptight, stressed, etc. and it kept me up basically ALL. NIGHT. LONG.
I prayed and gave my day to God, as I do most mornings, but God showed himself more to me today than He has in a long time. Or, maybe I just noticed Him more this morning. He knew I needed it. He knows me like that. :)
I went to wake Sadie up for school and if you know Sadie, she is NOT fun to wake up. I basically have to wake her up every morning and she is NEVER a happy camper. Much like her mommy, I don't like to be woken up either. She gets it honest! Well, I went to wake her and with very sleepy eyes, she reached up those 2 sweet arms at me, wrapped them around my neck, and pulled me down to hug her tight. I immediately had tears pouring down my face. God knew just what I needed and he used my "not a morning person" child to bless my heart!!!
Secondly, I had put on Facebook that I hadn't slept well and while trying to use that and some other words to encourage others to let God's peace reign, I was the one blessed in the process! My phone rang and rang and rang with concerned friends/family calling to check on me. Not just text me, or comment on my status, but straight up call my phone! Precious. My heart was about to burst and it was only 9:00 a.m.! After letting everyone know that NO, I was not about to jump off of a cliff, I continued on with my day.
Thirdly, Sawyer and I were home for lunch before picking up SJP, and I heard him go back to his room and start singing something...so, I turned his monitor on and could hear him singing "Jesus Loves Me". Again, precious. He came back in the den a minute later and I asked him what he was doing and he said "I was putting Mickey and Woody to sleep in my bedroom, mom" (yes, he calls me mom now...something I'm having a hard time with) Then, he said "you have to be quidet". (supposed to be pronounced "quiet", but he throws a "d" in there for some reason. Love it.) Again, my heart was filled with joy.
Lastly, I went to bed mostly feeling overwhelmed with my new business venture with AdvoCare. I ended my night late last night with a webinar from one of AdvoCare's top producers. It was awesome. Very encouraging, informative, etc. But I was left feeling inadequate, which I know was just Satan trying to bring me down. So, to make a long story short, I had several orders today...one being from someone I don't even know! :) And, my sweet husband called to remind me how much God has already blessed our business and its only been 2 months! So, there. Satan, back off, buddy! You're messing with the wrong sister!!!!!!!!!!!
What has God blessed you with today? Sometimes I wish I would remember to focus more on His blessings than what I choose to focus on.

You and I are having the same day! The good news is that God IS always there we we need a pick me up!
First, Satan will absolutely attack you when you are pursuing something within God's will. Second, those training call can be overwhelming! LOL
AND, Will has started calling me mom too! I told him he was not allowed to call me that until he starts kindergarten! TJ thinks I'm nuts, but it just sound so grown up and he is still my baby!
