attitudes and choices...

this is the day the Lord has made, let us be glad and rejoice in it: i should recite this to myself each morning (especially during the work week) but it doesn't always happen. i have a struggle with being content with the present, how true for so many people in this world. but i don't want to be like so many people in this world. i want to use the "present" for the Lord. but it's hard to do something for the Lord when you are having a bad attitude. and unfortunately, i have a bad attitude almost everyday. and it's my choice. i am choosing to have a bad attitude. i am choosing to let my job, schedule, hours, etc get to me. my attitude is a choice. i can choose to be overwhelmed, stressed, frustrated or depressed OR i can choose to be calm, faithful, content and trusting the Lord. i can choose to make the best out of it. so i am working on it. i'm working on the joy, not alone of course, but with Jesus right next to me. and He is so faithful. i pray for a Christlike attitude, to make sacrifices and to be a servant to Him and only Him. i pray to be selfless...
