And the fun just keeps on coming...
What with the felicitous delight of ex's, lawyers, and poverty, you wouldn't think I could possibly enjoy much more. You would be wrong.
The whole ex-thing is just annoying. I think I covered that for you in my last post.
The lawyers? Gotta love em. If I go back to school, I think I'll be a lawyer. Honestly, where else can you make so much money justifying any horrible action on the planet with the force of mere words? Seriously, I could be good at that.
And Poverty? I can't really plead poverty. Despite all the crazy life situations, God always provides for us. If my God is all that wealthy, then I can't really claim to be poor.
My life just seems to be one freefall of faith after another. What could be better? A root canal?
There was an ad on TV a hundred years ago where a person was standing with their back to a swimming pool, and they would throw their arms out to the side and fall back into the water. This became known as the Nestea plunge.
I live the Nestea plunge.
It's a stunning series of situations that are so far beyond the realm of normalcy. They are what we refer to as "God things" because they are the sort of thing that only God can manage. No one else can get their mind around these. All one can do is trust and ....fall.
I kind of think that these Big Situations are because I am, in fact, the original Drama Queen.
I know someone who overreacts to every single situation. When SOMEONE IS DRIVING 5 MILES PER HOUR BELOW THE SPEED LIMIT, This individual is in danger of having a stroke. No kidding. It's not healthy. But the problem is not that his life is really that bad, it's just that he REACTS TO EVERYTHING IN CAPS LOCK.
So, I was thinking that maybe I do that.
Maybe my life is really not that abnormal, just I am.
Which is entirely possible.

Oh, please don't do that! I have enough drama in my life, ya know with my kids, and, oh ya, ME!
Plus, the whole freefall thing, totally get that now.
I totally remember the Nestea plunge. I still want to do it whenever I'm near a pool.
I'm feeling very much in that same place... where all I can do is fall. And trust.
It's hard for me to like anyone who responds in CAPS LOCK. It's SO not me.
Be sure to give yourself those quiet moments to reflect and remember "Be Still and Know I am God" Psalm 46:10
