It has only been two weeks since the new year has begun. However, that doesn't stop the carnage. Wanna know what happened? Sure you do. Why else would you be reading this uncensored love letter? And on we go into the 6th volume of my beloved book.
Today marked a day that I shall never forget. The stressed tears, the boiling blood, and my depressed spirit fluttering and dimming into a glow of peace. It started with the vain attempts of catching up on shut eye while the mid-morning hours ticked away. I was trying my utmost to hold onto the precious few hours I had before I would have to yank myself out of my warm paradise under the sheets. This day: January 14, 2015 was the day of my driver test. Yes, indeed. That awful test that every blessed person under the sun must undergo if they wish to legally practice the operation of passenger vehicles. Pffft, legal. I am not of this world!
I practiced everyday during the week leading up to this day. I told myself I was going to ace this test without a single hiccup. No sir. This shall be a single attempt man going forth to the DMV!
Little did I know that I wouldn't even be able to take the test...
Yeah...all that adrenaline. All that stress. All the practicing. I was relived of it in one quick sentence. No insurance card. Unfortunately, we had the incorrect insurance card for the car I was using to take the test. It was for my Elder Sage's car....
Long story short? I didn't even attempt the test today. Mhm. Two and a half months of waiting. $36. Deleted. Paper work? Rewrite! Now I wait for March 20th which is the soonest I could reschedule. Heh. Life in the city is everything they said it would be! Lines! Lines and lines of people mindlessly waiting for their moment to get shot down. OH SO GLORIOUS!
I don't blame anyone. I am not mad at anyone. It is that kind of situation that doesn't need someone to blame. Life sometimes gives you bananas. Wait, I like bananas. Life sometimes gives you.....okra. And when it does? You give it the finger and burn it with the fires from hell.
In all seriousness. Today was a bad day. I have not experienced one in a long time. I suppose this is one way to kick off the new year. Icing on the cake? School starts on Tuesday! Excellent!
I wasn't the only who had a rough time today either. It seems that my Elder Sage Sibling had a bad time at her first day at the new job. Who would have guessed? (I actually called it when she submitted the application)
But I am not going to tell her that! We have a Ben Howard concert to attend tomorrow! How do you do a "boo" emote for these kinds of situations? Ah, this is probably what they call a "writer's block."
The story isn't over yet. Somehow in situations like this it always comes back to Him. My family started going to a Wednesday night meeting at the church that started last week. You could imagine what was going through my dim head. I had no desire to attend at all. I wanted to do anything but go their tonight. But I went. And, duh, I loved it. The Wednesday night studies are about prayer. Reevaluating our prayer to God and how we have to treat prayer as New Testament saints. It sounds odd, but it makes good sense. It touched me as it did last week. I really needed to hear God's Word. It just does something to my soul. When we came back home I just felt good. Thus here I am writing this post to start off the next volume.
Things never turn out how we want them. There will be some of the kicking, a little bit of the screaming. But when the noise settles down the light starts to poke its way back into your life. Then you realize that school starts next week. Ahaha. you realize that life isn't about passing driver tests or getting straight A's. Life is about Him. Since the day you gave your life over to Him you started your eternal relationship. How about focusing on the eternal once in a while? Sounds dumb, right? Of course we should focus on things that are eternal. Do it then, Dear Reader. Cause I probably wont.
Oh, and I am going to be leading the discussion group in my college ministry. Can someone say "Please kill me?" Oh snap. I probably shouldn't say that stuff. I might get found out by a fellow leader. How did I become a leader again!?!? It is not that I don't want to do it. It is just that I don't want to do it.
