In between

 Writing for me usually happens when i'm inspired by something however, i'm wondering " what about the days that aren't exactly inspiring" yet, they happen- most likely more often than the inspiring ones do- days like today where all I can do is keep going- do the next thing and not even try to think about all that's ahead or what I possibly forgot while running a zillion miles an hour delivering  babies. Apparently there are women whose bodies go from 3 cm to complete(10 cm for those who haven't had babies)  in less than an hour( umm yeah that happened to me twice today) and THAT IS NOT  the norm . But, then what is- I have been on a roll of mishaps lately- in the past two weeks I've officially left my lights on twice at work ( had to ask a strage man on a dark street for a jump and the next time I talked a bunch of kids into helping  me out which they agreed to when I offered them 20 dollars) I then, lost my keys for a day, forgot labels on my lab specimens at work, and today my car wouldn't start so I was late for work. ( i did get to drive paul's range rover though :~) so i ask, Lord- today- in this place -where do I find you ? I'm thinking of all my friends with kids who go through one event like this after another - my sad stories are nothin-and then I'm thinking of people going through true tragedies like the family that lost their little 18 week old baby last week and had to give birth to a baby with no heartbeat....the extreme's of life can be so glaringly opposite and well...often I would rather watch t.v. (and let my mind just wander into oblivion) but, Lord I'm here wanting more for me...for my friends...this is my prayer...that in the "in between" you meet us...find us...show us the way. And you whisper- I was there...and I remember-  I actually did see a few contrails on my way to work this morning...and I smiled thinking HE's going before my day...my ordinary...crazy day.  And, as I sit here tonight -I can tell you , my prayers were answered- maybe it's taken me some unwinding to realize but, honestly-  i'm o.k...i made it....i learned a ton....and my faith is growing ...and for that I am thankful. In the midst of  the exhaustion his promises ring in my head: He will never leave or forsake me...He will see me through as I trust in Him...these are truths I can stand on no matter what my circumstances may be. And as my dog cassidy stands here crying for attention I will end this...and say- He's there, He's with You...He will bring you through- that's all I know. He is faithful when we are faithless...
