Bath Talk...

The other night, well Wednesday night, was a crazy night, where it all went to pot and God taught me something from it. Like he does.

Basically it was another night of getting in from work, scoffing down food, getting sorted and heading out to a church meeting, this is happening quite alot lately in my life.

I managed to somehow between all the rushing to find a spare ten minutes, where I really wanted to work on an art/craft project I am doing. I had to glue the back properly. Now in my rush, I opened the superglue and managed to get it all over the work I have made, right in the middle. To say I was p***ed off is an understatement. I screamed at myself for being so stupid and my happiness level went from 1o to - 100 very quickly. ( I am a physco perfectionist)

With the mood I was in I thought, I really shouldn't go to the meeting, as I won't be very loving, as I will probably be looking for a fight just to take my anger out,on the poor soul whoever talks. (This is horrible but true). So I put my Pj's on and tried in vain to rescue my art, but knowing inside it would never be as it was...

Feeling so annoyed at myself I went for a bath, to try and calm down. Lying there in the water, going over and over it in my head, 'all that work for nothing' I heard God say ' Claire, you need to start saying No, to things'... You destroyed it because you weren't truly focusing on it, because you had 100 other things to do, that you don't trust me to do without you. I need you to start doing the things I ask you to, beautifully and take your time with them, rather than rushing everything....'

As soon as I heard this, I knew he was right... I tell everyone all the time. ' A burnt out christian is no use to anybody' but I never take my own advice...

So my task is now to start focusing in on what God wants me to.... Saying No, is something I don't think I will be naturally good at but I know God wants me to learn it.... so what I do say yes to, will be beautiful and without any trace of superglue all over it....
