Go on, wave goodbye

I am really good at holding things in. 

I am even better at holding things in for too long.

I have had many a meltdown that end with me sitting on the couch [usually with a banana thanks to Mom and a potassium deficiency] with the casual comment "I think I got a little worked up."

I have the great talent of letting things go until I absolutely lose it putting away laundry or making dinner or trying to find my house key at my front door. One little thing lets all the other little things loose. I was at that point this morning. I woke up angry. I could feel it coming. If you asked me why, I couldn't give you one concrete reason. Once again all the little things had piled up. 

I've been talking to God a lot lately, and today his Grace was abundant. The work day was so busy I barely had time to think of anything else. I was able to run home for a quick 30 min lunch and just sit in my little house [I had anger cleaned this weekend.] A random text message had lead to tickets to one of my favorite musicians when he comes to town in October. And I worked just late enough to run home with the sunset. 

There's a post-it I have on my computer at work with a verse from Daniel on it:

And if not, He is still good.

I've learned that if not, He is still good. If so, He is still good. All the time, He is still good.

You have to remember Christ destroyed the temple and rebuilt it in three days.Your little things, and your big things, are nothing compared to his grace and mercy. I promise.
