Day Dreaming

I've had a long day and there are problems at my job. I just want to rest, no time to hang out with friends. Not time to chit chat or relax. I felt in over my head with work and school. Let me recap.

I woke up late and had to rush to my car to get to work on time. I spilled McDonald's coffee all over my white skirt and just barely made it to work on time. I had to stop for gas on the way and payed $85 to fill the tank... bummer. I ran into my boss who couldn't even remember my name. All he did was hand me a stack of files that needed to be organized and put away. So he added 21 more files to my already large stack.

After work I went home to realize that I hadn't picked up the paint for the new house the gang and I are remodeling. So, back on the road I go to Wal-Mart to get the paint. I had a hard time finding the right color, so I just took a guess at it. I guessed right...yay!

Finally, after more errands that would bore you to say, I dropped onto the couch and blew a breeze up at my face. "Whew." Then I heard it. The familiar guitar strumming out on the back porch. Sure enough, the gang was outside making music. Joining them outside with my mandolin we all had the chance to play together. We haven't played together in over 3 months. It really was sweet music.

Just when I think that I am going to crumble under all the stress of life and my responsibilities, God opens a door for me to remember Him. Gives me a beautiful day that I hadn't noticed earlier. The sun is shinning and the grass is green and my friends and I are playing in harmony. Suddenly all I want to do is day dream about the perfect life that is mine.
