"This One's For Me"

I need to write myself a PRaP this morning. I hope you do not mind because
I think someone else might be having "one of those days". It is one of
those days that everything goes wrong and the funny thing is that it is
only 7 am, so that concerns me all in itself. Woke up late, still coughing
my head off from last weeks illness. The boys are arguing over what time
lunch is at day care. They are wanting to take stuff to day care with them
because mom is coming to get them and the stuff they want to take is
against the rules at day care and of course they promise not to play with
them there. So I let them pack a bag to take with them (Note to Mom please
make sure they get their bags). I pray before I let my feet hit the floor
even when I am late and now that I am in a frenzied hurry so I won't be
late to work I do not feel the presence of God and so now I am letting my
mind go crazy trying to figure out what sin I committed and tried to repent
of everything I did or said that may have pulled me away from Him. And I am
getting that road rage feeling in my mind as I drive to work so I crank up
the radio to help get my mind off the people driving so slow. Actually
they were driving the speed limit it was me. Then I hear the DJ on the
radio start talking about her day yesterday and this morning. Suddenly I
begin to feel not so alone in my anguish. Her condensation drain for her
AC is over her bath tub in the master bath of her house. Well the AC went
out yesterday and the repairman came and fixed it yesterday. Well sometime
in the middle of the night that drain unleashed a torrent of dirty water in
that bath and it of course splattered all over the bathroom. Then when she
got to work there were all kinds of technical difficulties. Then they
played this focus on the family cut about spiritual workouts. How we have
to, as in physical training, sweat and stretch and bend and stoop in our
spiritual training. Well that was all I needed to kick me in the pants and
get off my pity potty. Then when the DJ came back on the air she mentioned
that even in these times when we go through "one of those days" that Daddy
God is still in control and He is still there and we need to be sure that
in these times that we pray. Well I am not having "one of those days"
anymore. I am now having one of my spiritual workouts. Stretch and bend
and stoop and sweat and pray and stretch and bend and stoop and sweat and
pray and stretch and bend and stoop and sweat and pray . How is your
spiritual workout going?
