Yesterday was a day that I would call a not good mommy day! Now don't go thinking that I didn't take care of my precious little one but I probably relied on Patrick WAY too much and made him feel bad yesterday (which I regret)
Here is the reason why.. I HAD A DESIRE TO WORSHIP and didn't get to, or so I thought I didn't get to.
It has probably been about 2 months since I have been able to attend church. Before Mary Alice came Patrick and I would sleep in because I was so exhausted. Well yesterday I was really depressed about missing church. I woke up in a bad mood because I was missing my first Palm Sunday.
Easter is my FAVORITE holiday and it has killed me that I haven't been to church since Ash Wednesday. I have missed the whole season! All day yesterday all I wanted to do was hear a sermon that would challenge me or inspired me and give me strength for the week. I am so excited about being able to go to church next Sunday for at least the service. We have also decided that after that we are going to take turns going to church until MAG gets her shots.
Last night I was still very upset and started my devotion. I then realized that yes I am worshipping, I am just not attending church. I learned that you don't have to always go to church to worship. Everyday I spend time in the Word and sing praise songs over and over to Mary Alice (these are her favorite songs). I am worshipping and I realized that even though I was not able to hear a "sermon" on Palm Sunday, I can still worship the Lord and have a great Holy Week!
So today I hope to have a better Mommy day (it has already started out good, MAG slept for 2 hours at a time last night) and remember the reason for Easter during this Holy Week!
