Not today

Tonight I sit with a throbbing foot. What started as an amazing day took a tiny turn south....

I started my day with some newly discovered worship music, nailed it at work, and was expressing this afternoon that I was for once feeling like I was riding on a cloud, totally in sync with God. I was just watching him move in my life in every little detail.

I remembered the words from Sunday’s message and I took a moment to just create an alter and worship in these good times.

Now I’m sitting here recalling how my evening unfolded. I was scrambling to prepare stuff for the morning and from around the corner I hear a “ting” sound from where Major had snuck in the bathroom. As I walk up I see that he has taken literally the only thing I have that’s semi valuable and dropped in down the sink drain. Now this small bracelet wasn’t much but it was new and something I did for me which I’m sure many moms can relate is rare. I start to cry but I pull myself together and tell myself it’s just a bracelet as I’m shining my camera flashlight down the drain.

Then I walk back out to the living area to move on with my evening and didn’t make it far. Major had some beads he had placed in the convenient location of the middle of the floor. My left foot found them and I slid into a hurdle split position with my back to the floor.

And then....I lost it! The tears just flowed as I stared at the ceiling.

I hobble to the bed and Major crawls up to me and hands me his cup to fill his drink. Now I’m gonna admit that I’m a little mad at him for a moment but then he’s just oblivious that he’s done anything wrong so I just hug him, hold him, and thank God for the real things of value in my life.

Not today Enemy!

Romans 8:38-39

38 For I am convinced that neither death nor life, neither angels nor demons,neither the present nor the future, nor any powers, 39 neither height nor depth, nor anything else in all creation, will be able to separate us from the love of God that is in Christ Jesus our Lord.
