1 minute blog

i cussed a lot today.

while in the midst of a prayer, a selfish prayer.

i first said the d word.

and then i dropped the f bomb.

and then i prayed that God would help me get unstuck in traffic. it was icy and all my car could do was swerve around, awkwardly. there was a car behind me and my car just wouldn't budge and it was awkward, embarrassing.

and so today i prayed at the beginning of our dept's book discussion.

i thanked God for seasons and how they are cyclical and remind us of Him.

and i was thankful that in our seasons of ice, cold, stuck-ness, God is with us...He hears our cries and our prayers even when they're littered with some different, not so pleasant, words...

and as i am in the midst of a hard season, i know and sense Jesus walking with me through this...hearing even when i just have to lay out the f-bomb.

sometimes you just got to say it. :)
