Exhausting but good

Today has been an exhausting but good day. I woke-up this morning and I didn't feel good at all, I'm kinda getting sick but I'm really trying hard not to by taking care of myself...so far I think its working. I don't really have time to be sick right now anyways. So I got up and got dressed and left for work. It was kinda a long day with the kids, they weren't really getting along today and they weren't listening very well, but I just wanted them to play nicely together because I wasn't feeling up to dealing with it. But I made it through the day with them and then they took their nap and I ate lunch, finished economics(yay!), and then spent time reading my Bible and praying. I'm reading in Ephesians right now, I actually just started it today. I was reading 1:11 about how God chose us and that was just so cool to think about. Like yeah, I know that God chose us but like I forget that its more then that, he CHOSE ME. And like I'm so undeserving and I don't know why he did but its such a good feeling. And what I thought of was like when you have two team captains to pick who they want on their team, then like it feels so good when your actually one of the first ones to be chosen. But then there's the people who don't really get chosen, their just the last ones left and so one of the captains ends up with them and that doesn't feel so good. But like get this, God's the captain and he picked me first!!!! He didn't just end up with me. So anyways, I thought that was pretty awesome, 'cause well it is. And then in chapter 2 it talks about how undeserving and awful we are, but then one of the most amazing verses comes right after like 3 verses of how bad we are, in 2:4 it says "But because of his great love for us, God who is rich in mercy, made us alive with Christ even when we were dead in our transgressions- it is by grace you have been saved." Isn't that cool!?!?!? I think of how Thanksgiving is coming up soon and those are the kinds of things I want to be thankful for. I want to be thankful that God didn't just leave me in those 3 awful verses but that so much hope comes after them!!!! 'Cause its sure not like I deserved God's great love to save me from all that. Wow...I'm just so amazed by God, how he could be so great like that. So yeah, those were the main things I was thinking about well I was reading.
And then the kids woke-up from their nap, I gave them a snack and played with them until their mom got home and then I came home. I pretty much came inside, got on the computer for a second and then went and took a nap for an hourish. I actually never fell asleep but I was so tired and it was good to at least rest and close my eyes. Then I got up, ate some dinner (homemade chicken noodle soup and muffins), did the dishes and then Hannah came over which was by far the best part of my day after my time with God. :) Hannah made me drink this awful medicine stuff that I almost threw up from but its supposed to really hope your sickness go away, so lets hope. And then we ate ice cream on the couch and talked, that was so nice. After that we cut up tickets for the Junction, which I'll be selling with Brianna tomorrow night. Then we made some phone calls and listened to music and talked some more. And then we got on the computer and Hannah helped me get this blog thing set up. Then she left. And here I am now, writing my first post. After this I'm gonna catch up on some emails, read some of velvet elvis(a book Hannah just gave me today and I'm super excited!!), and then hopefully fall asleep. <3
