Be Careful What You Ask For

Filed under: The Old Blog

What the heck is going on in my life? So many weird things! First there’s the thing with people I knew 20 years ago popping up in my life once again - I met my old roommate at a random convention last month. This week, my best friend through high school sent me an email. I’ve also heard from a couple of other people I would count as acquaintances (too lazy to see if I spelled that right, sorry!) who have wanted to get together. Add to that the phone calls, the invitation to a graduation party, running into old friends at the grocery store and the visiting relatives and I’m just stunned. I keep thinking I’m either getting married or dying! If Miss Gartman, my first grade teacher, shows up out of the blue, I’m cashing in the chips!

Is this the result of praying for more “intentional” friendships?

Additionally, I am now one of the new Bible study leaders for next year. Yeah, what? Still stunned about that one. Do they know what they’re in for? Who knows - good gosh! What if I make them all liberal? :shock: :D Is [i]this[/i] the result of praying for more challenges in ministry?

And my mom. Now all of sudden she’s worried that I’ll end up alone with a couple dozen cats and I’ll get sick and there will be no one around to take care of me. Whatever. I told her she could sign me up for one of those online things….didn’t know she’d take me seriously. Haven’t decided which service to go for yet - we’ll see when I have some free time to do some research. Is this the result of praying for romance in my life?

New HD is humming along quite nicely. Although last night the sound card wouldn’t load. Took me almost 2 hours to get the thing going! Had to update explorer today because I kept getting a funky error message. Annoying. So far, tonight is good. Free hard drive? Installed? This [i]is[/i] the result of praying for a computer fix that didn’t cost me money. Talk about God being in the details…..

I’ve got a crazy weekend going - class, brunch, meetings, and more. Really, I think I need a 3-day work week at the 5-day week pay. Is that job out there somewhere? Ugh, and I’ve got to schedule 3 interviews too! Interview features are tough for me - I always think they sound stilted and contrived.

Oh my, I was writing so fast I nearly forgot I was sleepy! I gotta catch a nap!

Peace!
