One of Those Days

I have come to believe that God has a sense of humor and I do enjoy his humor quite a bit.

Today was one of those days when God brought me laughter in the midst of my troubles.
I missed the bus this morning; so I had to walk to the shopping center. I was kind of bummed about it but I didn't mind as much as one might think. After all it was a nice day, the walk would be good exercise, and I had the time to spare. After doing my shopping I was confused as to which bus stop I should go to and I ended up not getting to the bus stop where I wanted to be to get home. So, I began walking. At that moment I wasn't sure if I was walking all the way home or just far enough to a bus stop that I knew would get me to where I wanted to be. This time I was really annoyed that I had to walk yet again. The nice day turned into a not so nice day, as the sunny blue sky became consumed by gray clouds, it began to rain. I thought, "Oh great!" I was getting tired from all the walking, I no longer had much time to spare, and I wanted to get some reading done for school which clearly wasn't getting done.
I've been focusing on trying to ask "what can I learn from this" in stead of "why." But yet here I was walking in the rain and asking God "why, why me?"
Before I could even begin, along came my friend Ray. He saw me walking and offered to give me a ride home. Wow, how awesome was that, God sent me an unexpected angel.
Then once I was home (and dry), I check my facebook to see that my friend Emily's status update which read, "guess you gotta have rain before you can see a rainbow! what a beautiful reminder of God's promises - just when I need it, too!" This is where I laughed and began to see God's humor, in addition to hid mighty great goodness. It was like as I read my friends status update, God was whispering in my ear, "that's why."

Today was a longer day than I intended it to be, but it I guess the Lord thought it was necessary. I learned a couple lessons today and I was also reminded of a few lessons as well. And now, go figure, the sky is blue, the sun is shinning, and the birds are chirping. And I'm guessing somewhere out there in the beautiful sky there is a rainbow.

Have a blessed day and remember God's promises to you :)
