How do you start your day?

I'm so guilty of starting my day with Facebook. What did I miss? Who's doing what? What drama has unfolded while I was sleeping?

Does it really matter??
No.

I've found myself having some rough mornings. Trying to get myself ready with a 14 month old running around is quite a challenge! I get angry. I get frustrated. The littlest things can set me off.

Well, duh.

So this week, I'm going to make the effort to check my Bible first. It's too easy. Pick up my phone, open my Bible app and there ya go. I've started a devotional on that same app. How handy is that?

Not too say that from now on I will have the perfect mornings, but my reactions , I hope will be better.

Today's reading was from 1 Corinthians 1 where Paul teaches how God uses the people others think are foolish.
To expand on this, God uses people who are flawed and broken. You may think I've done this or that, I haven't gotten a good education, I have too much wrong with me for God to use me. We are exactly who God wants to use. He chooses us because of those flaws and shortcomings because then we can't say we did it in our own power. It was all God! He gets the glory as He should. Not us.
And I don't know about you, but I'm ok with that. He's God, He can handle the praise and glory. I can't. It would be too much for me to live up to.

God, use me.
In my weakness, use me.
In my brokenness, use me.
With all my flaws, use me.
I want to be used by You.
I want You to get the glory.
You deserve it!
You are mighty, God!
You are awesome, God!
