.... Whatever ?!?

You ever have one of those days when you just want to say ..... whatever and move on to the next day? Oh my word- and oh my Word- I stayed up late last night to post some fancy's that I would like to call my own.... I came to work to admire my post and guess what all of the lovely pictures I displayed to perfection were Gone- it would not show you and let me tell you these things were admirable- things "I wanna" .... so I deleted the post, huffed and puffed and said........ Whatever! I went to McDonalds today to ask for my Free smoothie- did you know that McDonalds will advertise a few weeks in advanced of freebies and take the signs down to see if you can remember the dates- and I did- so I went through the drive through and politely requested my Free smoothie- and you know what? They threw a kink in it- now you have find the secretly hidden coupon in the newspaper....... Whatever... and speaking of newspapers- I don't get the newspaper or even read the newspaper because it's all bad news which is very much so depressing to me- and if McDonald's required me to purchase the Sunday newspaper then technically the smoothie was not at all Free.... it required a purchase and that is a "catch" which makes me say thanks but no thanks and Whatever!! How about the fact that I went to the lovely post office to mail a birthday present- for it to arrive On Time because for those who know me may actually still be waiting on their presents because nothing I send is ever on time which is why I am not allowed to pay the bills.... anywho... I was so excited with myself that I purchased, boxed, addressed and made it to the post office only to read a sign that said..... We are closed for lunch 12.30-2.00....... What?!? Are YOU kidding me federal government?! How are people on their lunch breaks suppose to utilize the post office? Which leads me to say hello? no wonder we shop online to include at your door delivery and bypass the stinkin post office but ...... whatever!! And just when I was ready to lead you to believe that these events among others hath taken a toll on my day- I decided I better go online for my daily devotion which led me to say oh my Word!! Here is what the Lord said to me today via devotions.net Let the words of my mouth and the meditation of my heart be acceptable to you, O LORD, my rock and my redeemer. (Psalms 19:14 NRSV Bible) I remember a story about a little girl who got mad at her younger brother. She pushed him down, called him a name, and then spat on him. Her father got onto her and said, "Honey, I think the devil made you do that." The little girl answered, "The devil might have made me push him down and call him names, but I thought of spittin' on him all by myself!" With some of our actions, we wonder why we did them. Paul even struggled with this problem. He said, "For I do not do the good I want, but the evil I do not want is what I do." Then there are the things we know why we did them. We thought them up all by ourselves. As the Psalmist says, "See how they conceive evil, and are pregnant with mischief, and bring forth lies." This is why Jesus came to be our redeemer. "He it is who gave himself for us that he might redeem us from all iniquity and purify for himself a people of his own who are zealous for good deeds," (Titus 2:14). Lord Jesus, redeem me today, so that I can do good to glorify God. Amen. Ever felt like you were hit over the head with the Spirit stick- to gently remind you that God is with you- to see that verse and to read that prayer just tickles me to pieces!! He loves me!! "Lord Jesus, redeem me today, so that I can do good to glorify God." which leads me to say........... Amen!! and the people that encounter me after this devotion will like me so much more than the people who encountered me before...... don't you think?
