I think the anticipation of hearing the word "final", or just the word "final" period.....has been running through my head the last couple of days. It's something I know that is coming and something I hoped would never be coming, but I gotta suck it up and know that sooner or later it is coming. Just waiting on that word--the final word! (weird) Today it was very windy. It caused a lot of damage in my neighborhood. The wind picked up trash cans and parts of the roofs and took them away. I feel like the last couple of months happened so fast and so abruptly just like the wind was today. I wish the sadness, heartache and pain would fly away just as fast and like those trash cans alover the neighborhood. As I was driving home tonight I dodged fallen and broken tree branches in the road. I kinda feel like some of those branches. Part of something once upon a time and now not so much. Kinda waiting to be picked up and put somewhere, or onto a different life. I know I am part of great things, but not part of that something that once was great. Now I am just rambling, but I making sense in my head. Anyways... Needless to say I kinda feel like my life is the weather right now. Not sure what's next--hot, cold, hailing, raining, snowing, windy, breezy or calm. I am praying for more calm than anything.
So, my brother, wife and bug came over last night. We had Papa Murphy's pizza and maybe just maybe my new favorite thing is their cookie dough. Maybe just maybe I don't cook the cookie dough and just take a little bite or spoonful of this delicious cookie dough once or twice a day. Just saying....
So I am grateful for people listening to their promptings ecspecially lately. I feel like I have benefited a lot by my close friends and family who have really listened to the spirit and acted on those promptings. I have been blessed with texts, visits, emails, calls, treats, lunches and you name it and it has happened. Well I am grateful to a close friend at work who knew I was having a rough day and took me to lunch. It was such a nice visit and so needed. I am so grateful that she felt the prompting to say something to me.
Because I have benefited so much from people listening to promptings I really want to listen to the promptings I have. Tonight after a Stake Primary meeting I felt I needed to visit a couple of my friends in the ward. I stopped at my favorite drink spot and picked up a drink and their favorite candies. I really wanted to see how they were doing and thank them for the support and love they have shown me. I really didn't want to go home to a quiet house just yet and figured why not have some good company. I showed up to a spur of the moment impromptu get together. It was so what I needed. I love the women in my ward and the friendships and sisters that I have. I am blessed to be in such a great ward.
With all the craziness happening in my family the last thing you would think of is having a car stolen. That doesn't usually happen to people you know. Oh no. Not in my family. My family is unique. We get the randoms and they don't usually come in threes. They come in like tens and I am kinda not kidding. This happened to my little brother over the weekend. It was completely discouraging and so frustrating. My brother was moving, so a lot of his belongings were in his car. He had just bought a commuter car to get him through since he was recently in a bad wreck that injured him and totaled his jeep. The commuter car only had liability, so nothing was covered. THAT SUCKS!!!!! Anyways... the cops weren't hopeful and he would pretty much be out of luck. Pour kid. His whole life was stolen. I can kinda relate with that--just saying! And I thought my life kinda sucked. Tonight he got a call. His car had been found. Most of his belongings were still in it and it had more gas than when it had been stolen. With the price of gas these days anything more than what you had is short of a miracle. This my friends is simply a mini miracle.
