Technical Difficulties (a somewhat frantic PINK Tuesday post)

It’s been a fairly average Monday.
Staff meeting – check.
Reading and Bible study prep for Tuesday morning – check.
Brief walk on the treadmill – check.
Two loads of laundry (almost) finished & dinner on the table (if mac & cheese, hummus & pita can be called ‘dinner’) – check.
Child in bed – check.
PINK Tuesday blog written (hit ‘save’ at 11:29pm) – check. Or maybe not. Hey, wait a minute! Where did tomorrow’s blog GO? SERIOUSLY?! You’ve got to be kidding me. It’s just GONE.
Technical difficulties.
Never mind that I’m more than a little bit tired. Or that I’m feeling the weight of completing an intimidating to-do list for February’s women’s retreat. The post that I spent the past two hours writing has simply fallen into the depths of my outdated laptop and, well, it can’t get up.
I’m certain there’s a lesson here for me to learn. In all likelihood, there’s a lesson I’m to share so that you can learn with me. But I suspect you’ve been here before – sidelined by your own technical difficulties – always poorly timed.
So let’s dispense with the wisdom for tonight, take the sheets out of the dryer and make the bed. Start the dishwasher, write a reminder note to put dinner in the crockpot on the way out tomorrow morning, and call it a night.
Or maybe we could call it a hijacking. Of my plan for God’s.
God had other plans – I have learned to just go with the flow…….LOL
Just when I think I’ve learned that lesson, Cyndie, I have a night like last night 🙂
It is so wonderful to hear from you! We’ve been missing you on Saturdays!
We just aren’t in control, are we? Have a good day!
Not in control, but daughters of the One who IS! Thinking of you today, Beth 🙂
