Today was one of those days where you wish everyday was like it. I went to bed early because my wife went to bed. I learned very early that if I go to bed when she goes to bed, I want have any problem getting up when she gets up before the sun comes out. After sleeping for about 5 hours I woke up with a lot of thoughts on my mind. I started thinking about ideas for my book and my blog. I couldn't sleep and I wanted to get up and write them down really quickly and go back to sleep but i knew if I got up, I would wake her up and I didn't want to do that because I did once before and it was not pretty. So I just laid there and thought about the ideas so that I wouldn't lose them. I pictured myself writing them down. I pictured myself typing them on my laptop. I even pictured myself in the scenes that I had in my head. At this point, I had it down pack. I was ready to write it all out all I needed was for her alarm to go off. I didn't know that it would be two hours before this would happen, but I made it. When she got up, I got up and I got ready for work. I didn't say one word to my wife because I thought that if I started talking that my thoughts would be distorted and I wouldn't be able to write the clear picture I had spent hours painting.
I said all of that to say that sometimes people don't know the sacrifices that you make for them. They don't see the suffering that you go through to make life simple for them. This can sometimes be frustrating especially when they are complaining about things that are not worth complaining about. You tend to start thinking about all that you have done that has gone unseen and it gets you a little heated. Here is where the test comes in and this is how you pass it. Always remember that you are not doing what you do to be seen by them but rahter by God. God is the only one that can see the unseen and hear the unheard. If you remember this, then you will be good to go. It may take you a couple of times, but practice makes perfect. It took me more than a few, but now I think I am a pro at it. Although every now and then it can get me a little frustrated but I managed to shake it when I think about all that the man upstairs has brought me through. I then smile and keep trucking. I never look at what could have been but rather what is about to become-what I can do to make it better going forward, not backwards because what's behind me can't dictate what happens in front of me-my future.
