Attitudes

Tonight I walked onto the field for softball, but it was different than the last couple games. This time nothing was bearing down on my soul making me predisposed to grumpiness. The first game was normal, we had the mercy rule called on us. The second though was awesome. The team held it together, made some really good fielding plays and kept the other team from scoring to much. That coupled with good hitting on our part gave us the 2nd victory of the season.

I am sure thought that even if we had lost I would have had a good mood anyway. It was right before I walked on the field. (I even got a chance to be the warm up pitcher) The question I am facing is how to make the attitude be good before I get there?

My only answer to that conundrum is simple, stay in the Word. I got a chance a couple days ago, and this morning as well to listen through 1 Corinthians. It has been refreshing to hear scripture again, rather than the sermons I normally listen to. I have no doubt that my better mood and outlook on life improved by absorbing the Word of God. (even when class this morning was a real drag)

I am still dealing with the same issues I have been, but somehow today they were a little less daunting. Praise God for his wonderful goodness to me today. Bless his mighty holy name.
