Desperately Seeking Shelly

This morning my attitude was absolutely abominable.

I was grumpy and miserable from the 5am-Ezra-wake-up-call (luckily he went back to sleep; I didn't). 

Mr. Wonderful had a music team concert at a faraway church and I was on my own with our little ones.

So I grumped and I moped and it wasn't pretty.

I wish I could be content and pleasant all of the time but it just isn't so.=)

After dragging my little ones and myself to church we were a lot late for sunday school and a lot early for church so I sat quietly in the sanctuary after dropping them all off and quieted my mind.

Our interim pastor had placed the story of Charles Spurgeon in our bulletin--he was an amazing evangelist-- who came to believe in Christ after he heard a sermon that included this verse:

   Isaiah 45:22

“ Look to Me, and be saved,
      All you ends of the earth!
      For I am God, and there is no other."

So he, (Spurgeon), *looked* up and acknowledged in his heart that there is one God and that Christ is His Son. 

*He* is the ONLY way. 

The *ONE* through which we can go to Heaven. 

Belief in Christ alone is what saves us from sin, and death, and emptiness and spiritual darkness.

I can never be reminded of the wonderful promises of Scripture enough! 

I walked away feeling encouraged and joyful--so thankful for the gathering together of believers and for the Word that was presented this morning!

In other news, when I dressed Ezra for church I noticed he must have had a growth spurt because his khakis and white shirt (that I was hoping were going to last us for another month or so) looked like capris and 3/4 length shirt! Gah! It's not a good look--even on a cute baby! =)

In other, other news, the discouraging situation I alluded to yesterday has been resolved but not in an encouraging way (if that makes sense). Boo. 

Thanks for sending a prayer up for us if you did--I have faith that it will be resolved according to HIS plan.

Happy Sunday--I hope you had a better attitude about it than I did! =)
