Today, A Quick Note

I realized that posting each day of my Today segment is tedious, so I decided to post all the days on the last day of the, in one post. I will start with todays posts forward.

Today

Today, I feel... undistinguished. I don't feel particularly good. I don't feel particularly bad. I don't feel particularly happy. I don't feel particularly sad. I don't know how I feel today.

Today, I thought... about nothing in particular. I think particular is my word for the day. My NaNo Novel breezed through my mind, but I didn't concentrate on it in particular.

Today, I prayed...
Philippians 4:6-7
(The Message)
Don't fret or worry. Instead of worrying, pray. Let petitions and praises shape your worries into prayers, letting God know your concerns. Before you know it, a sense of God's wholeness, everything coming together for good, will come and settle you down. It's wonderful what happens when Christ displaces worry at the center of your life.

(Contemporary English Version)
Don't worry about anything, but pray about everything. With thankful hearts offer up your prayers and requests to God. Then, because you belong to Christ Jesus, God will bless you with peace that no one can completely understand. And this peace will control the way you think and feel.

(Worldwide English (New Testament))
Do not worry about anything. Talk to God about everything. Thank him for what you have. Ask him for what you need. Then God will give you peace, a peace which is too wonderful to understand. That peace will keep your hearts and minds safe as you trust in Christ Jesus. (My favorite version)

Today

Today, I feel... like cooking dinner.
Today, I thought... about what to cook for dinner.
Today, I prayed... Lord, help me to be anxious for nothing. Let Your peace that passes all understanding rule in my life forever.

Today

Today, I feel... happy and tired. My allergies are kicking me in head today.
Today, I thought... I will be glad when I stop having to suffer with allergy problems this fall.
Today, I prayed... Lord, please clear up my allergies, soon.

Whew, Glad the First Part of Today Is Over

I am so glad that the first part of today is over. I had to go to another class and help the teacher out because her aide was absent. Can you say "UNRULY & ROWDY"? I corrected a child's behavior and he decided to act a plumb fool with me. It scared me like crazy because he was screaming bloody murder and saying that I had broken his arm. He has been known to be a bit dramatic, so everyone knew that it wasn't as serious as it seemed.

I was scared out of my mind. I had a couple of things on my mind as well. I was finally able to free myself of a couple of the things. Things did not go as badly as I thought they would. I am thankful for that.

I hope I don't have to go in that class again. It is scary.

Today, Again

Today, I feel... much better now.
Today, I thought... how relived I am to have unburdened myself.
Today, I prayed... thank You, Lord for understanding and forgiveness.

Today

Today, I feel... frazzled. Craziness abounds like crazy.
Today, I thought... is it me or is this day just flat out crazy?
Today, I prayed... Lord, help me make it through this day.

Today

Today, I feel... okay. I haven't really felt much like writing these past few days.
Today, I thought... What am I going to do about my writing?
Today, I prayed... Lord, help me to write more and be inspired to write.

Today

Today, I feel... weird, tired, and crazy. I made a mistake that I wish I hadn't.
Today, I thought... I wish I didn't make crazy mistakes.
Today, I prayed... Lord, help me to overcome this mistake. Lord, don't let the person this mistake effects be too upset with me.

Today

Today, I feel... tired. This has been one long week.
Today, I thought... how good it will feel to relax this weekend.
Today, I prayed... Lord, let this weekend go smoothly.
