Non-Mood to Good Mood

We all have those days where we just aren't in the mood. I'm not even certain if you could categorize this as being in a "bad" mood, but it definitely isn't a happy-go-lucky mood! It's more like no mood at all. Just blah feeling. An off day, if you will. As you have probably guessed, today is one of those days for me. 

I slept way too much, causing a headache, and my stomachs been acting up. On top of that, I had to take my grandpa out to run some errands. Inside I was screaming and crying. Just like a toddler. "Why do I have to do this?" "I'd rather be watching tv." "Everyone on earth is annoying." (Haha that last ones harsh, but I'm sure you all understand that feeling) 

It feels like there is so much to do, but I don't actually want to do any of it! 

After running the errands with my grandpa, I came home and decided I needed to get myself out of this funk. I figured reading my Book of Mormon might help. Turns out it didn't. Instead, I read them with some sort of grudge, secretly not wanting to read at all. In the midst of my "scripture study", I overheard my grandpa's conversation with my mom on the phone. This man....he just constantly amazes me. Living with him is a blessing. The Lord knew that I would need my grandpa to help change me for the better, to place me closer to my Savior and the things that REALLY matter. He was telling my mom what a "sweet girl" I am and that I'm "always willing to help". He went on with a list of beautiful things to say about me, and all I could think was "Gee, I'm a real jerk." But before I could run too far on the negativity river, Heavenly Father opened my eyes. He touched my heart to remind me that even the smallest things are important and I am blessed beyond description. 

Immediately after this feeling, I saw a blog post about how The Lord will give us more than we can handle. It was a beautiful entry, and I will post the link at the bottom of this. Yet again, Heavenly Father was reminding me through others that I shouldn't be selfish. I should count my blessings and recognize His hand in my day-to-day life. 

And you know what? Today I did. Thankfully. That non-mood mood I was in has seemed to vanish altogether. How grand is it that our Father in Heaven stays aware of us, even when we probably don't deserve such divine attention. He is there. He is ready to bless us and to change our hearts to recognize those blessings. 

Reflect on your day. Remember what truly matters. 

GOD WILL GIVE YOU MORE THAN YOU CAN HANDLE
