So yesterday I had obviously had a pretty craptastic day. Actually it was a good day other than the stress of feeling disapproved of. But today my friend posted the above link. It's short but very powerful. Specifically about why mothers do what they do for their kids who don't see it but it also can span to life in general.
I was so frustrated yesterday because I'm not looking for approval, I'm just not looking for disapproval. Really, I just want to be left alone because when I'm left alone I can see my blessings and enjoy them. It's when I share them with others and they downplay my victories that I get very frustrated.
In this clip she talks about cathedrals and why architects paid so much attention to detail even when no one would see. "Because God sees." I'm grateful that God sees the details of my life, the ones I have made beautiful and the ones I've really botched. He gives his input but He knows how to communicate with me. He knows not to tell me that I'm doing something wrong but to tell me that I can do better because I'm better than whatever mistake I make.
I don't know what life is supposed to be like exactly except that there's supposed to be joy!
