I got a phone call this morning about 5 minutes before I had to leave the house to pick up the boys.   Their mom said she forgot to tell me there dad took off today so I had the day off.
At first I was mad.   Then I remembered my morning prayer.  "Lord let me be the person you want me to be today.   A day you would like me to have not a day I make it."
I emailed a friend and said I am off today so I should get the rest of VBS written.   I could also get work done around the house.  
That all changed fairly quickly.   I looked at the rain and remembered how last time I talked to mom on a rainy day she said "the rain makes me tired and lonely"  So I had an idea.  I went to mom's house picked her up and we spent most of the morning shopping.  We didn't buy much.  But we had some fun and laughs.
I came home and thought well it is already 1:00 do I really want to start something now?  Then I remembered our Netflix movie we didn't watch yet.  So I popped in the DVD and watch "Hairspray"  I never saw it and didn't even know what it is about.  But I loved it.  I enjoy musicals.  I didn't know it was a musical either. 
I just made a quick meal for dinner, hot dogs and Kraft mac and cheese.  Simple meal means a relax meal for me.    Tonight we had small group bible study. 
Now as my day is coming to an end I was thinking I didn't get what I wanted to done however God gave me the day I needed, a "Me Day."   We all need one of them from time to time.

Sounds like God just had different plans from yours and it turned out really nice!
