Choose joy

Aaahhh.....motherhood.  We all wish for it and sometimes long for it more than anything. Now that I'm in the middle of it with 2 girls (ages 4 and 2 mths.), I'm wondering what the hell have I gotten myself up to.  There is no manual on what a babies cry means or what to do when your fully potty trained 4 yr. old all of the sudden starts peeing in her pants again.  

It's the most stressful job I've ever had.  I'm trying to get supper ready and there is a crying baby in the background that needs to be fed then there is a 4 yr. old that needs entertaining and attention.  Never needed patience more in my life.  So then at the end of the day I just feel drained and unhappy.  Then I recall the verse that says, 

**PAUSE - have to go nurse the baby

So where was I....Oh yeah....the life handbook (the Bible) says, "This is the day that the Lord hath made, I will rejoice and be glad in it." (Psalm 118:24).  So that's my daily motto.  No matter what the day brings, I choose to be happy because God chose for me to enjoy it.  I will probably need to remind myself of this EVERY day.
