I went to work on Tuesday and by the time business hours had passed two things remained a big mystery... Mosaic Woman's test results and if the guy who ran the red light had called his insurance company. The day was far from a complete disaster, but even I knew I was an emotional wreck as I entered prayer.
God helped by reminding me that it was only a car and the fact that an SUV moving at 50mph through a red light had not killed me, or even injured me...
But my mind did not go to a soothing place when I imagined Christmas morning after bad test results. It was not a great feeling.
By the time Wednesday lunch had arrived my car had been towed and I was heading to work (a bit late) in a rental vehicle. By the time I left work, Mosaic Woman had called to say the results were negative.
It has been quite a week. My stoic being was pushed to its limits of feeling down and then feeling up. and still my life unfolds...
Merry Christmas....!
ReplyDeleteWhen it rains, it pours; or at least so often it seems that way. Yet I have found Him always there, even if unseen, unfelt, un-thanked at the time. Rejoice, my friend, in good news and in the celebration of what Christmas brings to us......
ReplyDeleteI have been reading holding you and Mosaic Women in prayer; sorry about the accident and the stress that causes, and my heart is so happy that the test results were negative. Yeah!
ReplyDeleteGiggles-- hoping you had safe travels, if you traveled
ReplyDeleteJim--- I think the joy would not have felt as great if I had not felt the funk the day before... and prayer was part of it.
anj--- thanks for the comment and the kindness
