I am often the queen of obviousness. (is that a word?) Anyhoo, I have frequently asked questions out loud that everyone else in the room has already figured out and thus I am often considered to be of inferior brain capacity. (I'm actually not, but that's another blog post.)
Now, I have figured this out about myself (self-aware, thank you!) and I know enough now to think the question, but remain silent and use context clues and the like to figure out what the flip is going on! But.... Here's the deal, someone needs to just ask this question. Why does this have to be so hard?
Lord, why does this have to be so hard?
I mean, seriously, whose idea was this?
Who decided it was supposed to play out like this?
Who came up with the plan that included this mess?
It couldn't be You? I thought you loved me. I thought maybe you liked me, a little.
Is this a road I'm on, cause it feels more like a swim in a vat of battery acid.
I'm tired. I'm mad. I'm fed up. I don't want to do this anymore!
Please, can it be over now? Please?
Well, you have quite a few questions there, Fitchie. And that's fine, no sweat.
It was My idea.
I decided it was supposed to play out like this, um, like, before you were born.
MY plan included this mess, I wrote it back when you were in utero, sis.
I do love you. Was that a serious question? I do like you, a lot.
I promise it's a road and it does lead somewhere.
I know you're fed up, but I'm not, so how about you hand over some of Your "stuff"?
I know you're mad, but I'm not, so let Me give you My words, 'cause your's? Oooooooohhh, girl...
I know you don't want to do this, but I want you to...
I know you're tired, but I'm not, so go take a nap. I got this.
Lord, that was not what I wanted to hear. Not one bit.
Well, there you have it. A brief excerpt of my conversations with God. Not pretty at all, is it? I'm glad I'm not the only to ever have conversations like this with God. Have you ever read some of David's Psalms? Wheweeeee......... That boy needed some Xanax or somethin'. Here's a few to peruse....
Psalm 119:25-32 / Psalm 6:2-3 / Psalm 35:17-18
But yet, God called him "a man after God's own heart" again and again... Hmmm.... I wonder if He says that about me? Nah, probably not...
