Odd can be good

Sign of good weather- ants. They decided to come visit the kitchen before work today. Then I forgot to change my shoes so I wore these to work today:

Go Gamecocks!  At work I finally thought I was scooping the competition and could do something groundbreaking and a big wrench gets thrown in last minute. Of course the power gets temporarily knocked out only in two offices, one of them being mine and then I realize the new computer is flashing a blue screen warning.  It's been an odd day. Not a bad day, an odd day. Oh and Charlie caught a bird. She is very proud of herself. 

The other day I read something I had read before. I got the point the first time but the second time it really sunk in. I thought about this several times today. I think I was blessed by the message I got from it today. It help me put things in perspective and not let the odd turn to bad. Tonight, I would like to share it with you. I don't know where it came from originally so I can't give due credit but whoever wrote it, thank you. 

Me: God, can I ask You a question?

God: Sure

Me: Promise You won’t get mad

God: I promise

Me: Why did You let so much stuff happen to me today?

God: What do u mean?

Me: Well, I woke up late

God: Yes

Me: My car took forever to start

God: Okay

Me: at lunch they made my sandwich wrong & I had to wait

God: Huummm

Me: On the way home, my phone went DEAD, just as I picked up a call

God: All right

Me: And on top of it all, when I got home ~I just want to soak my feet in my new foot massager & relax. BUT it wouldn’t work!!! Nothing went right today! Why did You do that?

God: Let me see, the death angel was at your bed this morning & I had to send one of My Angels to battle him for your life. I let you sleep through that

Me (humbled): OH

GOD: I didn’t let your car start because there was a drunk driver on your route that would have hit you if you were on the road.

Me: (ashamed)

God: The first person who made your sandwich today was sick & I didn’t want you to catch what they have, I knew you couldn’t afford to miss work.

Me (embarrassed): okay

God: Your phone went dead because the person that was calling was going to give false witness about what you said on that call, I didn’t even let you talk to them so you would be covered.

Me (softly): I see God

God: Oh and that foot massager, it had a shortage that was going to throw out all of the power in your house tonight. I didn’t think you wanted to be in the dark.

Me: I’m Sorry God

God: Don’t be sorry, just learn to Trust Me…. in All things, the Good & the bad.

Me: I will trust You.

God: And don’t doubt that My plan for your day is Always Better than your plan.

Me: I won’t God. And let me just tell you God, Thank You for Everything today.

God: You’re welcome child. It was just another day being your God and I Love looking after My Children.
