Feelin’ It: Act II
 | Current mood:  blessed Category: Life Thursday evening I came dangerously close to something so weird that I'm not sure what happened. I can't figure out if I was on a sugar high, a sugar low, or if someone slipped me a partially ineffective rufie (sp?) that made me giddy like an adolescent school girl. It was strange. It started around the time I got off work and lasted until around nine or ten that night. I'd had an abundance of empty sugar calories that day and very little else... I kind of did the very little else on purpose because I knew I was going to have the abundance of empty sugar calories, *cheesy grin*. Ten years ago it probably wouldn't have phased me. I would have gotten sugar high, then hit a sugar low, then gone on about my business. That was ten years ago, though. I'm cruising toward forty now and things just don't seem to work the same. Oi vey. I ended up as loopy as a crocheted afghan on an old lady's couch. Man, was THAT weird! By the grace of God none of my friends were too badly affected by the chemical chaos running amuck (I don't think I spelled this right, but I simply don't care right now) in my blood stream. God's grace was administered as a voice of reason through my friend SM, who, after hearing me talk for a few minutes, told me I sounded high. She advised me NOT to make a phone call I was dangerously close to making and helped "bring me down" from my sugar freak by telling me some sad news from her world. It worked. The intended phone call became a warning phone call to not return my first phone call and I was saved from making a COMPLETE ass of myself. Of course there was some partial ass making of myself, but that goes without saying when dealing with me. On a less dramatic but equally exciting note, I'm doing this Bible study on Friday nights - it's a Beth Moore - and I'm studying Exodus right now. I'm LOVING learning about how God wants us to come into His presence and how just because we messed things up in the garden of Eden doesn't mean we aren't allowed to seek His face now. I am constantly amazed at how gracious and loving our Lord is. He is the Creator of the Universe, too vast for any of us to understand, and yet He humbles Himself to deal with us on a daily basis. He loves us, for sure, but how unfathomable is that? The God of the Universe loves US! Wow. I'm floored - and thankful. Anyhoo, I'm off to work in the office. Have a great day, and remember to remind me to stay away from the sugar. I love you, |
