Omnipotent God- Thank You for sharing Your almighty love along with Your almighty power. Thank You for Your gentle ways. You are my strength and my refuge. In a couple of hours I will be donning my cape, mask, arm bands and all that I wear when I become Mosquito Steve, Caped Crusader. Fortunately, there are no tights. I will be passing out candy and samples at a carnival today and be surrounded by tons of kids. It is fun to feel like a super hero. Yesterday, I showed exactly why I am NOT a super hero. I pack my days pretty full. The problem with that is that there is rarely time for a glitch and never time for a long term full stop down glitch. I had one of those yesterday when my outgoing email stopped. I had just done a bunch of billing and was dependent on those invoices going out but I kept getting errors from my email host. So I made the call to tech support and went through the usual attempts by then to show that it is operator error. We discovered their issue but they told me I would not be able to send out emails for the rest of the day because I had already sent out 500 that day! I had actually only sent out about 12 but Outlook kept trying to send and resolve the problem. Details, details. The important thing is that suddenly I was now running late for my appointments. Then I realized I had forgotten about an extra appointment and now I was in full blown panic. Stress had set in. Anger was boiling up. I used some of the anger to post negative comments about my service provider on Yelp. I was ready to melt down. It was several hours before I was able to breathe, to pause, to focus on God and His presence. But I was embarrassed that I broke down so quickly. Evidently, this super hero has lots of kryptonite! I am grateful that God is forgiving. I hope I can show myself the same mercy. I don’t believe I have any messes to clean up and I will talk to someone else about that today. Being human can be funny sometimes. Remind me, Lord, that life has obstacles but You do not. Help me to see how insignificant my problems are. I pray for those having a bad day; that they may see the hugeness of God and know He can solve anything. Amen.
