I've committed myself to something tomorrow that TODAY, I don't feel like doing. Well, I don't feel like doing it TOMORROW. I'm just not in the correct mindset, I guess. I need to put things in perspective and figure out what I'm really irritated about. I guess that would be the fact that I don't like people assuming that I'll do things for them without them asking me first. Granted, I'd probably do them if they asked. But at least ASK.
I woke up around 5:00 this morning, grabbed my rosary from the headboard, laid in bed and prayed the rosary. It was beautiful, quiet and peaceful. There were no distractions, no noise, nothing to clutter my mind except my prayers. This is why I love the morning rosary. By the time I get out of bed, I feel amazing! Start the day off with prayer and you can't go wrong. ;)
I am continuing to try and be patient with my daughter and to pray for her. My sweet friend Kate pointed me in the direction of St. Monica as a good example of what I should do. I have realized that the more my daughter and I talk about Christ, the angrier she becomes because of the way she was treated in her last year of Christian school. She was ridiculed and embarrassed by both her teacher and the other students, and made to feel like she wasn't a Christian if she didn't subscribe to their EXACT beliefs within that school and particular church. She is holding on to that hurt and anger instead of trying to work through it and let it go. Sometimes I don't think people realize how their actions and words can turn people AWAY from Christ and have the opposite effect of what they want. This is why I'm going to try to bring my daughter back to Christ by prayers and actions instead of merely words.
It's been a long week -- thank God it's Friday! :o)

A Little Crushed In Spirit
