| Apologies From a Repentant Christian |
Yesterday,
I decided to stay home from church. I was feeling tired and worn down and just
wanted to stay in my pajamas.
Right
away, something felt wrong. I am not sure why, but I decided to detour from my
normal morning routine. Instead of starting my day by reading my bible and
spending quiet time with the Lord, I skimmed a few verses of proverbs then
began to write in my blog. I was pushing aside meditation and study time with
God to write about what I knew about God.
By the
end of the morning, I had written two stories. In one story, I confessed the
mistakes I was making in leading my husband closer to Christ. In the other, I
prayed that God would heal my heart and help me become a better wife.
Just
after posting both blog stories, I heard a honk from a neighboring friend’s car
horn outside my trailer. A mother and her
son were sitting in their car waiting to take my son with them for an afternoon
treat. I went outside for a brief moment to say “Thank you,” to the woman.
Just minutes
after they drove away, I reached to open the trailer door. Locked! I was
still wearing my pajamas! Embarrassed, I sat in my car and waited for my
husband to return home from his round of golf. Now, I was determined to take a
shower and get dressed as soon as he returned. My husband pulled up to our campsite approximately 35 minutes later. When I looked into his eyes, I felt like crying. Yet instead, I yelled at him for taking so long to return home. Then, I went inside and turned on the hot water to the shower. No hot water! I had inadvertently turned off the water heater the night before. Frozen pipe water only! My Goosebumps had Goosebumps. After my chilly shower, I attempted to make dinner for my son. The French style rolls were not pre-sliced. So, I grabbed for a very sharp serrated knife. Within seconds, I had fiercely sliced my thumb.
Immediately,
I began to giggle as I looked up to the heavens. Then, I said under my breath
as I smiled, "Okay Lord, I get it. I will never miss going to church
again!"
