After the excitement of the Super Bowl (or Superb Owl, as my phone autocorrects to) started to wear off last night and I was home away from my friends, I started feeling down. You know…lonely, bummed… whatever you want to call it. Eventually I just called it a night and went to bed with a negative attitude. I knew that waking up to the snow was going to be terrible, and the fact that I had to go to work today (even thought I love my job) was dreadful… But! Before I went to bed, as I usually do, I said my prayers. It was just me and Jesus. We had a good chat, I did most of the talking, He did most of the listening. I prayed for a better attitude, not only for that night, but for the days to come. To accept singleness, not only in a romantic way, but in a platonic way (when my friends are busy with other friends).
Fast forward to 6am this morning. Snowing, cold out, windows frosted over, work waiting for me…and a smile from ear to ear on my face… WHAT?? Today was amazing… I had a great outlook on life, the day ahead of me was mine!! The drive to work was fun, drifting around snowing corners. I got to play on fun new toys at work, (see instagram and twitter @mikewritenow) I got to talk to one of my co-workers about Jesus, and the hours just flew by! I even had a new outlook on the cold snowy weather.
Jesus is not only the healer of physical pain, but a healer of emotional pain and sorrow. He is an amazing resource that I am so thankful to have available to me. Sometimes, I take Him for granted, sometimes I ignore Him, but most of the time I bask in His glory and I am so glad I do.
What does it take for you to go to Jesus? Is He your number one on speed dial? Do you have to wait until you have called all of your friends only for them to ignore your phone calls to finally call Him? What about when He calls you? Does He go straight to voicemail or do you pick up?
Maybe you are wondering why I am using all these phone analogies…Im wondering that myself… It just seemed right.
