letter to god: a mini-post
dear god,
on monday i thought surely you were mad at me. since you handed me both jury duty AND an expensive medical procedure (although optional, so i suppose thank you for that). and you made my mom all kinds of difficult. and i wondered where we went so wrong. as i carry you deep down in my heart and credit you with such things as my husband and our cats. but perhaps i have been a bit of a b lately. perhaps that is it.
and then on tuesday you saw to it that i sit in that jury room all day with craaaaaaaaamps. but you also provided me with an ample advil supply. and a comfortable couch all to myself. and you also arranged for me to be released from jury duty so that my service was completed. maybe this was an attempt to get me to forgive you for the cramps? the jury is still out on that one :) (oh goodness do i crack myself UP!)
here is what. every step of my life i have been handed only that which i can handle. and that i appreciate. even when it seems beyond my capacity. even when all of my thoughts are i can't. even when i cry. or complain. (sometimes a lot) you have given me a full life. a life full of love and happiness and trial, yes, but also kindness and beauty and boundless knowledge.
i'm glad we're friends again.
love, emily b.

I'm glad your friends again too! Otherwise, I don't want to be on this blog just in case of a freak bolt of lightning were to occur or something! ;)
God's a good dude, he and I have been in talks for ages about the whole rollercoaster ride we call life...what's that saying..."through god all things are possible"...so I think as long as he's in your life....he'll see ya through those cramps...boring ass jury duty...(which by the grace of god I myself got out of recently}...cranky momma's and anything else that comes down the pipe!
