Play in the Rain (March 28, 2018)
Y'all ... today was my Monday. OH. MY. LANDS. It started with us missing alarm clocks and waking up to overcast skies at 8:10am. I realized as I opened my sleepy eyes and squinted at the clock that my day was not going to go as planned, and I prayed that God would help me just roll with it. I'm not super big into change or things not going as planned, so this is a struggle for me.
I dropped Gracie and Kylie off at school and headed to take Anna Marie to preschool a hour late. As God knew that I would need some help today, He allowed her sweet speech therapist to be there earlier than usual. She smiled sweetly and asked, "Oh, are y'all late cause you took her to registration?"
A wave of anxiety rushed over me. I had completely forgotten about this. Thank goodness she reminded me. It was in my calendar, but I forgot to put an alarm to alert me. I waited for her speech time to be over, and we rushed over to Kindergarten registration. As we walked in, I realized that I did not have ANY of the required documents. In my rush to just get there, I neglected the fact that I have to prove that I am indeed a resident of Bryant. The ladies were so understanding and showed me grace. They're allowing me to bring everything tomorrow, and Anna was registered despite my shortcomings.
But, hey ... one thing I did remember to do today was register Tyler for preschool next year. So, go me.
I went about my day seeing patients knowing that my day was going to end much later since we had such a rough start.
In between patients, I happened to look in my sun visor mirror and noticed that my right eye was suddenly very NASTY looking. Like pink eye on steroids. What in the world? Where did this come from?! So, I threw my right contact out the window and drove half blind for the rest of the day. Thankfully, Dr. Bright saved the day and called in some drops that I was able to pick up before going home. It already looks so much better.
I arrived home to my little big family greeting me at the door. They are always a breath of fresh air. All six of us played outside in the drizzling rain for at least an hour. We got to visit with our neighbors and just enjoy life.
As I watched Anna play in the rain, I was encouraged. I was encouraged to play in the rain no matter what befalls me in a particular day. Today was just small hiccups. Tomorrow might be life altering events. But, no matter what ... I will trust Him. I will continue to be joyful no matter my circumstances because God knew all along that I wouldn't wake up til 8:10am this morning. He was already there at the end of my day reassuring me of my hope in Him. I'm thankful that He loves me. What a great God we serve!
