Glasses

I was reminded something late (or early depending how you look at it) last night. It is so easy to have a bad day or even a bad week. I didn't have the greatest week last week. I know why also. I let things get the better of me, and then, rather than talking to my best friend- I just let it slip. It's so easy to let whatever is going on in our lives get in the way of talking to God. If I had just talked to him about it the first day that I was having a bad day I might have had a better one the next day. Not because any of the circumstances would have been different, I would have just been viewing it all differently. Like putting on a pair of glasses God made for you to fix your vision- that way you can see things properly. I did end up talking to God about all the petty stuff that was bugging me throughout the week, but it would have been nicer if I had seen things with different eyes this whole week. It's far too easy to just think that we can even neglect a little time or a little conversation with God. It affects everything. Maybe sometimes we just feel quite stupid coming to Him with all our tiny problems, especially when we know full well that they are tiny, and so often stupid. But that's the thing, he needs our tiny, stupid problems or attitudes just as much, if not more than our big ones. It's so much easier (i think) to give Him the big ones. But it's the small ones that happen everyday and affect who we are to others everyday.

hope all of you in Northern Ireland are having a great week, and if not, try talking to God, He's really the only thing that will help.
