Got issues?

Ladies, I’ve got a BIG problem on my hands… BIG…. my coffee maker is broken… or ‘brote’ (as Josh would say)… it’s dead…I’m struggling… I’m not going to lie here… this is a MAJOR issue!!!  I woke up this morning and realized that it was no longer working… so I call Chris… Why?  because I suppose I thought it would make his day a little brighter if I called and griped to him.  Why do we do that… we wives and mothers?  Am I the only one who somehow finds it necessary to call up my husband when I’m having a horrible day and decide to tell him all about it?  I mean… what can HE do?  (well, that’s another problem of mine I will have to address at a later time… right now I’m really upset about the coffee issue)…

so this morning I was dragging and grumpy and…well…. a HORRIBLE mess.  Finally… I decided my only option.. (oh poor me… I’m so pathetic..jk)  was to drive to Starbucks and get me a coffee… so I did… and my mood began to perk up.  At first sip I was covered in smiles…. and I thought…

“Man, why can’t i be THIS addicted to Jesus.  Why can’t I just “HAVE” to have my time with the Lord before I start my day….Why am I not all smiles and giggles from HIM?”

 yes… this is sad.  I’m sad.. this I know.  And I have to tell you… tomorrow is going to be the same issue.. perhaps I will find myself once again on Starbucks terrain….but tonight… I’m going to pray that I may be as excited about Christ…. I may desire Him more than a soy latte. 

(Gosh I’m a pathetic disgrace to Christ… what am I doing here……I need to go to bed…think tomorrow I’ll make it a double shot….I continue to digress…nighty-night all.)
