It was a perfect mid-morning coffee break. New organic blend. Steamy and fresh. PBS on the tube and my girlies chillin’ on the sofa.
I really needed that five minutes.
Then I left the room for like a minute. I swear. I only went to return a stray hairbrush to the bathroom drawer. I sat down to catch up on email and sipped my lovely coffee when something the consistency of pasty, wet cotton ball was introduced to my mouth.
(Cough. Gag. Regurgitate.)
Hmmm. I studied the debris field splorfed out before me in a methodical, CSI-ish manner. Of course. This could be none other than a soggy tortilla chip strategically placed in my coffee.
Let me reiterate the fact that I was gone for “like a minute.” Mere seconds. This was definitely the handiwork of my little Lovey. Yes. The 2-year-old.
And I have to say that this scenario is rather indicative of my life at the moment. It seems that every time I turn around. Soggy. In mere seconds. Mush.
This is merely a season. A tough frustrating exciting, faith-building season. I believe the best things in life happen when you are pushed beyond what you believe to be your own limits. However, I find it increasingly difficult to wait. And wait. And wait some more. I have never been accused of being patient. But I’m trying. Really. And the not-so-distant future is shaping up to be pretty darn promising.
(Remember the Fridge Flap from February? Yeah. Still living out of cooler… for reasons I hope to divulge soon.)
Fast forward to the afternoon. We stopped to visit my hubby at work. I left for like a minute. Mere seconds. And there it was. The office floor displaying a crayon mural. Snap! Lovey looked up at me and said, “Isn’t it magical?”
And she was mostly right.
Beautiful messes can be downright magical.
” Your beauty and love chase after me
every day of my life.
I’m back home in the house of God
for the rest of my life.”
Psalm 23.6 (The Message)
