Would have, Could have, Should have

Wisdom Wednesday- even though it's Thursday! How is God's Word changing me? Well, I am being convicted today of something God brought to mind about a decision I made in haste and without including Him!

There is a way that seems right to man, but in the end it leads to death. Prov 14:12

A quick tempered man does foolish things... Prov 14:17

A patient man has great understanding, but a quick- tempered man displays folly. Prov 14:29

Have you ever done something in haste, without thinking and later thought, "I should have prayed. I should have asked for wisdom. I should have thought it through a little better?" Because we are getting ready for Gabe's parents to be here while we have the baby, I wanted to have a meal made so they can eat as soon as they arrive. So I made two quiches.. One for when they are here and one to freeze when the baby comes. the problem was, I picked the WORST time to make them.. Dinner time, bath time/bed time.. Not our normal routine to do things such as this. I found myself getting anxious because I had two children pulling my legs, crying on the floor, fighting, and whining. I was impatient and on edge. I had the thought that I should stop and do it later, and even had the nudge to not even pull the ingredients out to start, but I made a foolish decision without weighing the costs of making this quiche when I did. I just tried my best to hurry up (in haste!) and get it done. I did! In the oven, cooking and I went to bathe the girls. Came out, turned off the oven, put them to bed and then left them in the oven all night! I could have, should have and would have waited until today to make them if I had only sought God’s wisdom about this matter. :)
