Bumbling
One morning in one of my best professional suits and heels, stepping out of the tunnel and rising to the street my patent leather heel caught on a piece of trash. I went sailing to the ground with great force. The next thing I knew a gathering of passerby’s are hovering around me as I lie there on the ground, angry, crying, hurt, and incredibly embarrassed. My roommate one of the folks hovering:) Finally, after many people asking if I needed anything and finding no response from me as I cried. There trying to gather myself, one sweet hovering man asked, “would you like us to leave you alone” and I finally replied, “yes, thank you. I will be ok.” Oh pride. Haha. Two red, scraped up hands, a scrape on my shin, a nice bruise forming on my knee, and yes a scrape on my left cheek (on my face thank you). Haha:) Side note: as I was on the ground I pointed at the piece of trash and in great disdain I cursed it aloud!! One of the hoverer’s subtly walked over to the cursed trash, picked it up and placed it in the garbage can near by. Thank you man. Haha!
My year could be summed up in one word, humility.
"Let circumstances bring you where they will, keep drawing on the grace of God in every conceivable condition you may be in. One of the greatest proofs that you are drawing on the grace of God is that you can be humiliated without manifesting the slightest trace of anything but His grace." Oswald Chambers
Aw man, yeah I’m gonna keep trying. Grace for you, grace for me. Can I gracefully fall?
