HIT

Because I am always cold.....I mean always cold.....I have to keep warm any way I can. This involves sitting outside on my lunch break on sunny and very warm days. I go out there for my half hour to warm up.

Yesterday I was sitting at the picnic table finishing my lunch and talking to a co-worker. All of a sudden I felt something hard hit me on the top of my head. I said to my co-worker....."what was that". I grabbed my head and felt an instant lump (or I call them a hickey), but no bleeding. At first I thought a pine cone hit me, but when I turned around,on the ground laid a nice size stick. A stick had fallen from the very tall tree and landed right on my head. Now, I don't need any blows to the head as I am confused a lot anyway.....but this had made me laugh right away, even though it hurt. She suggested I need to report the incident, but I said "not right now.....if I'm acting weirder than normal an hour from now, maybe I will".

When my break was over, I took her advice and told my boss about the stick. They made me fill out a report and I went back to work. Yes, I had quite a story to tell everyone the rest of the day, but the only thing that kept ringing in my mind is the fact that I want to believe nothing happens by chance or accident. That somehow even a stick falling on your head isn't by chance. When I got cracked, all I could think of as I was laughing, is "what are the chances of me being at that spot at the exact time God decides to let a stick fall"? And it didn't hit anyone else.....only me. (cause I must be special :)  Haha.

As I was thinking on this, it hit me that to be in that exact spot at that exact time, is amazing. What is the purpose for my pain and embarrassment? To give my God his glory. That's the purpose. To thank Him for reminding me that nothing is by chance in this life. That every detail of our existence and what we do day to day is all figured out by Him. The one who created trees and people has purpose for everything. Thank you God for reminding me of this yesterday. Thank you for your love and devotion to me as one of your chosen ones. Our God is so amazing!!!
