I got a little chuckle from God this morning. All morning I had been wanting coffee but I didn't want to give in to temptation. I kept going around and around in my mind, "Other people have taken a break from 7, it is ok if I do too. No, I made a committment. One coffee won't hurt. Think of the people that are suffering and offer up your sacrifice for them. I am home with the kids all day, I need a treat."
Finally, after two hours of back and forth I found the strength to put my foot down and make the decision that I was not going to have the coffee. One minute later, the doorbell rings. I open the door to see my sister waving as she pulls out of the driveway and a cup of Starbucks coffee sitting on my doorstep.
I had a good laugh and felt like God was sending me a message, "Stop debating and just drink the coffee!"
That is awesome!! I love it!
ReplyDeleteGod just wanted you to hold out for His best :) And believe me, Starbucks is His best, as far as coffee goes. I think there is a life application to that :)
