When I am in this “mood” (maybe I should name it for ease sake, how about pmsopause) I have noticed that my normal graceless self gets amplified by at least 10 if not more. I become a downright blundering idiot, not only in my outward actions but in my thoughts and emotions. All this to say that today seemed to be destined to be a seriously pmsopausal day. My exceptionally patient husband and I have a Black Tie Affair to go to this evening and of course that means dressing up to the nines. Remember I am menopausal and have hot flashes constantly, so the thought of dressing up is a daunting one to say the least. I figure that if I get my hair done up off my neck that would be half the battle right there. So I head to my hair dressers only to find out that they had put me as a different person, with a different person then I regularly go to, at a different time!!! Hence I was out of luck. I sulked all the way back to my car (by this time I was smack in the middle of a doozie of a hot flash) where I promptly asked God what He was doing and did He understand that I really needed my hair up and that I could not do this by myself. To put it mildly I was angry that my “order” of things had been crushed (my opinion totally). I proceeded to drive back home all the way telling God all the reasons that He had failed in my ever humble opinion and how I would have done it so different and therefore so much better. When I was about 2/3rds the way home I got a call from my hairstylist at the Salon. She apologized and said that she had someone who could do my hair and would do a wonderful job if I would be able to come back. Smiling as I was sure I could hear God saying “all I wanted was for you to TRUST ME” I said that I would be happy to turn around and come back. She did a beautiful job and We had a good time at the Black Tie. Once again God reminded me that He does know what He is doing even when I don’t. I may want things my way just because I can see it, but in reality His way is ALWAYS better then my way! ALWAYS!
When my ways are definitely not His ways.
