Not today....

Have you ever woke up and not wanted to be you today? I mean really, let's be honest. Today is one of those days. I woke up, and I don't wanna be a Mom, a wife, a friend, anything...I just wanna go back to the carefree 20 year old without any responsibilities but myself.
Now, before you go getting all judgy judgerton on me, let me explain. I love being a wife. I love being a Mom. I love being a friend people can rely on. These are things that define my character. I would give my life for any of the above listed jobs. It's a choice I make every day.
But, this is a lot of responsibility. Sometimes it's very overwhelming, and life just gets the best of us. That's today....
But, the good news is, Jesus tells us not to concern ourselves with things of this life, to lift our eyes towards heaven. So, when I am having a day like today, I try to remember that. John 16:33 " I have told you these things, so that in me you may have peace. In this world you will have trouble. But take heart! I have overcome the world."
On days like today, I remember a song by Gretchen Wilson. The lyrics go like this, "I don't feel like loving you today....but you know I will anyway." So, like every other day. We will trudge on. We will put on a happy face. We will do what needs to be done. We will be a good Mom, a good wife, a good friend....
And when we hear those little words, "Mommy, I love you..." all will be forgotten...
