Expectation

As I was working out this morning, (I have been consistent with waking up early, working out which then motivates me to shower. My skin has been doing much better among other things. Praise God!) I was tempted to feel anxious about my 3 month old daughter waking up and not allowing me to finish my work out routine or get in the shower. As she was squirming around in her little chair, I thought: life isn’t about it going the way I expect it but about how well I deal with the unexpected. 

I’ve been learning to embrace “obstacles” with confidence knowing that my Heavenly Father will help me and give me wisdom on how to handle those “obstacles”. Now, instead of me growing anxious or frustrated when things don’t go my way, I look forward to these challenges to see how God will help me handle these situations. For now, it’s actually a little thrilling. 

She didn’t end up waking up and I was able to complete my workout. Now, let’s see if I can get in the shower. If not, I’m ready to handle it by the grace of God.
