Becoming who?

I wish I could say that I followed my own blog posts and had a perfect week. I wish I could say that after two weeks of reading my Bible daily, I'm now well on my way to Becoming Myself.

But I can't say those things.

On Wednesday I forgot altogether about trusting God and instead had a terrible day. I even cried. (I never cry.)

On Thursday I yelled at my daughter and had to ask her forgiveness.

On Saturday I yelled at my husband and I had to ask his forgiveness.

On Sunday, I sat in church again and remembered my idea to breathe God in and breathe Heather out. I took deep breaths and wondered why it's so hard to remember those things when your day isn't going well. When the house is a mess and the kids are chaotic and you're not speaking to your husband.

So I'll try again. This week I will breathe deeply of God's grace, peace, and mercy. I will exhale stress and worry. I will sing a new song. I will!
