Don't Eat the Chili Shelly

I don’t know why some things happen to me. I do wacky things I or I’m accident prone. But last night I pulled my Jeep into the garage and my garage light went out. I thought no problem I’ll just stay close to the Jeep and walk around. Did you know that very close to my Jeep in my garage is a large solid metal poll? Well there is! I found it with my face! I saw stars it was crazy! I wandered into my house and sat on the first step and while I waited for the light show to wrap it up I texted The First about my finding of the pole, ouch.  I then dragged myself up the stairs and decided to flop on the couch then flew up off the couch and landed hard on my bottom :( I had flopped right on an angry boy cat that was sleeping under the blanket.... he was not happy and I got yelled at as I sat there on the floor and cried/laughed at myself. I limped to the freezer and smacked a package of frozen berries on my head. 

Sometimes I think things just happen to you when you aren’t looking, you literally get smacked in the face by things. You have to be heading in the right direction. My mom and I have been talking about listening to God. The other day my mom was telling me that she was going to eat this chili in the fridge.... she doesn’t like anything to go to waste and she heard, “Don’t eat the chili Shelly.” and she just knew it was God because he calls us by name. So she didn’t eat the chili and sure enough it had like mold mixed in or something that you couldn’t really see. Gross I know, but that good little farm girl is very thrifty. I’ve been trying to hear God tell me things, to me it’s always been a feeling in my heart, I thought, recently things have happened that make me wonder at my decisions. I always try and do what is good and try to listen, but I swear I miss the mark sometimes or maybe I don’t maybe I’m right where I need to be and this has all happened for a reason. It may not be clear now, but soon it will be like TA-DA!!!!

Space bugs and hugs!
