Once again…. It’s been too
long and I’m not going to waste my time or yours trying to play catch up so
I’ll jump right in. But… I will take back the comment earlier about being
desperate for Him to take me out of my comfort zone. Funny how He answers your
prayers as long as they are aligned with His will!!
I’ve found myself adjusting
my radio lately. No, not the radio in my car… However, I sometimes do that too.
And if you know me at all, you know that I get most of my epiphanies in the car
so I can see how you would think that way. Oh, and don’t let me forget to tell
you about the latest car conversation. Sorry- this is the ADD setting in so
I’ll get back on track with the first story. Like I said… it was not the car
radio. This time, however, it has been my life radio. I have had WAY too much
static trying to take over and get me distracted. Well, ok. Maybe it did take
over and get me distracted. But only for a little while. It may seem like
longer to you since I haven’t been on here much lately, but I promise it didn’t
take me that long to get back on track. I’ll be the first to admit that I still
get off track, but I think I’m getting better about finding my way back more
quickly than I used to. Hopefully, anyway…
So yes. Imagine that. Static
in your life trying to take over and get you off track. It’s not been the most pleasant thing to
experience. You know how annoying it is to have the radio on and then the
static starts to take over?!?! I hate it when that happens! But I knew what was
going on. And I knew that I was starting to forget to look for the blessings in
the day to day daily grind. They say that’s the first step to recovery, right?
Admitting that you have a problem? Well, I’ve admitted it and I was screaming:
“Captain, we have a problem!! A big problem!” And guess what?!?! He told me
that I knew what I needed to do to fix it. That’s right. I just had to get back
to looking for the blessings in the good and the bad and the pretty and the
ugly. Sometimes I forget to do that. Now there are times that I’ve been good at
it, but until recently it had not been the most natural thing to do. It came
when I started reading this book; One Thousand Gifts by Ann Voskamp. I’ll tell
ya more about that later.
Hang tight and I’ll share the down load I got while I was at the beach a few weeks ago. FYI… It’s amazing what you can hear when you take the time to retune your radio and get rid of the static.
