The last few weeks have seen some interesting things happen in my life.... mostly on the negative side. I thought that I would weather the loss of my boyfriend, my dog, my broken down car, and my mounting debt with a straight back and stoic manner... and then the fridge light burned out. It was that moment that cried "Really? Really? What else can possibly go wrong?"
I have a sense of humor. I know I do somewhere. I may have misplaced it but I am quite positive it will come back around when I least expect it. There are so many worse things that could be wrong in my life. I am surrounded by some of the most wonderful friends and family a woman could have. So why do I sweat the small stuff? Maybe cause the smaller the stuff, piled on top of each other, weighs more heavily on my shoulders then the singular big things that can happen....
Before my fridge light had burned out, I had performed surgery on it with duct tape. Yes, in the words of my niece we are "redneck" now. I had been contemplating fixing the shelves on the door with duct tape for a whole year yet I never did until the day before the light burned out... So now I have this distinct feeling that God is upstairs laughing at me. "See that girl down there? She thinks she's in control of her life... Let's show her who has control."
Just so you know God, I never ever doubted who was in control.
So my fridge light goes out and I wonder what could possibly happen next... I think I'll pray tonight. It's been a while. And I think I will go to church Sunday. I haven't been since Christmas day. I owe God the respect of my prayer and presence. It's the least I can do...
Now, where's the light bulb?
