(not part of Marching through March)

Lately I have been feeling really upset at myself. The reason why is because I am finding myself so busy in homework, family, friends, animals, blogging and everything else...that just yesterday I realized that Sunday is Palm Sunday.
It's really frustrating because to think that I would be so busy and forget that Palm Sunday is coming up is so selfish of me.
But I can learn from my mistake that I made.

Sometimes I will hold on to my mistakes and act dramatic about it and cry and throw a whole sob story on how I will never be able to move on. But I know I can learn from this experience because of something in two weeks that happened around 2,000 years ago.
Jesus died and suffered on a wooden cross for my sins and rose again.
Instead of holding on to my mistake of being too busy, I can repent to the Lord! You see, we all deserve death for all the sins that we commit. It's the tough but true truth. But since Christ died and rose again on that cross, I can learn from my mistakes! Before doing my homework, I can take some minutes to praise God for all the things He has done in my life. Before walking to the Speech Meet, I can pray and ask God for concentration and strength. Before leaving for school in the morning, I can thank God for the beautiful sky in the morning. (Seriously sunrise is GORGEOUS!). Instead of reading that romance novel I've read millions of times, I can read my Bible, a never ending love story. By doing these little things and putting God into EVERYTHING I can do and putting Him first and foremost, I can get back to living and not make that mistake again. <3
Dear God,
I am so sorry for forgetting Palm Sunday. I am sorry that I have been putting you last on the list and making excuses like "I am too busy." I know I have done you wrong and I am sorry for that. Please help me realize that I can learn from mistakes, no matter how bad it seems like I screwed up. Please help me stay devoted to you, busy or bored. I love you Father. Thank you for sending your Son to die for my sins and rise from the dead..for me. I love you so much God and I am so sorry for putting you last. Thank you for loving me anyways, despite my mistakes I have made.
Love,
Julia Lynne
