rough day

oh what a rough day we're having today. Some small things, some big things.

- Jasper got the flu vaccine yesterday and is suffering the side effects today. In other words, uncontrollable bawling. all. day. long.
- Jasper having temper tantrums on top of bawling.
- me disciplining Jasper for his temper tantrums which results in Jasper having prolonged screaming on top of the uncontrollable bawling. literally, all day long. Which eventually turns into temper tantrums. Which leads to discipline. It appears to be an unending cycle.
- messy house
- dirty dishes
- no clean laundry
- got in a car accident (very minor) this morn on the way home from prenatal appointment. Baby and I are fine. but, the car accident (my fault) led to...
- uncontrollable bawling on my part.
- I've been experiencing some possibly serious health issues. I thought they were due to high blood pressure issues with the pregnancy, but I found out this morning at my prenatal appointment that it appears to be possibly a heart murmur with potential health risks to the baby. I'll hopefully be seeing a cardiologist specialist asap.
- My possible heart murmur, potential health risks to baby, minor car accident, and screaming toddler have very successfully combined to make me bawl. all day long, too.

At lunch, we were reading verses and my go-to chapter when having a rough day is Psalm 34. I love it; it always balms my soul and points me in the direction of my Savior. So naturally, we read this chapter aloud several times during lunch and it's just so awesome. God is so good!

"Oh taste and see that the Lord is good; blessed is the man who takes refuge in Him." Psalm 34:8

  1. It is a sweet thing that in the midst of a very rough day, you find solace in God's Word. You sure can't go wrong there!! I heard Nancy L. Demoss say today, "The hard things are hard, but just because they are hard, doesn't mean they are bad. Just opportunities to see God at work." :-)
