This is the day the Lord has made; we will rejoice and be glad in it. Psalm 118:24

Some days, it is easier to rejoice than others. Today did not start out as one of them. I woke when my husband left for work and could not fall back to sleep. I was worrying about bills and a few employment choices for my husband.

Worrying in the middle night doesn't do any good. It's not as if you can physically do anything to correct the situation at 3 am, except pray. And I did, I tried to give to it God, but the enemy was working overtime. I woke up grouchy, my carpool person decided to leave early, so I was on my own, then she called and asked me to get something from her house, which would have made me later (and definitely made me grouchier).

Yet when I did get to Bible Study, we just received... lifted our hands and faces to the Lord and received, and while I didn't hear anything, I saw waves of purple behind my closed eyes and smelled burning incense. Someone called me over to pray for me and told me God was going to take me incredible places, my feet were going to bring me there... Then she asked if she could wash my feet. (FYI when someone asks that you say Yes.) And she did, just with a wet cloth, praying over me and yet afterward, I felt as though I had a full pedicure. My feet felt like they had been covered with lotion.

So yeah, this is the day the Lord has made, and I'm going to be glad and rejoice in it!
