Ok I'm Focused Now!
So tonight didn’t quite go as planned. Actually not a single thinng I had in the plan actually happened. Not one. If you know me at all, I am a list maker and planner type person. And I particularly love to mark thing off my lists and my see my plans go perfectly. Not tonight! We were supposed have our first launch group meeting with a new group tonight ( If you don’t know what I’m talking about go to Columbia Church and see the awesome work Gods about to bring to Columbia. ), but about 30 minutes before everyone was supposed to come Princess Sarah says “Mommy, my throat hurts”… Not good. Fever 101. Not a drop of Tylenol or motrin to be found. And her ear is draining.
Ok. I start on mommy mode. I cancel the other kids that were supposed to play tonight and get the kids settled in front of a movie. Scott can host the group an I’ll scurry to walmart (why did they put that thing so close to my house!), grab up some meds and feel better prizes and be back in time to meet the new group. But only one person came.
As I go out the door I realize that I am FRUMPY!!! Majorly frumpy! And the sky is about to drop right on top of my head with enough water to drown a whale. Fantastic.
I rush into walmart and try to be polite to the two zillion people in that store (and never forget that the 10 most aggrivating people in your nearest vacinity are in walmart…and most likely in line in front of me). Back outside in a flash. Still not raining. Good. As I come around the corner completely frumping on myself, I glance up to see the most beautiful rainbow.
Ok God. I’m focused. Thanks for the reminder. I needed that.
Oh, and I love you too.
[as I pulled out of the walmart parking lot, the bottom dropped out. But I was already in the car! Then Noah called to see if I needed a ride.]
