TODAY’S BLOOPER:  THE WRINGER  2/08/08

Last night when I put my nightgown on, I noticed that the pockets were sticking out so I tucked them in.  This morning I was up before dawn working on importing the new Glossary.   I spent a few hours working then took one last look at it before putting it on line.  I had made the same mistake in every page!  I was not a happy camper and kept telling myself I was NOT going to do them all over again.  Sigh, I was not doing a very good job at talking myself into that, so I did them over. 

I can not even count how many times I have asked the Lord to help me do things, and suddenly His Spirit will pop up and bring something into memory that I forgot, or help me see a problem and also the work-around answer.  It is awesome to realize His help in this way.  So I was wondering how I could have done such a stupid mistake.  As I was thinking that, He brought into memory that I had forgotten to pray.  I did not ask for the Lord’s help!  I tromped into the other room and looked at my nightgown in the mirror and chuckled.  It was inside out!

I immediately thought about the parable of our lives being washed, going through the wringer and coming out inside out!  It would be a while before I took my shower, so I took off the nightgown and put it on right side out and then looked again.  Now it was backwards.  Ever had one of those days? 

My whole day was spent going in software circles with the hopes that there was an easy answer to my need.  I was quite crabby by the end of the day and poooooooooor Wayne kept praying for me.  Finally in a spotlight prayer I said, “LORD!  You told me to consolidate my life and make it simpler.  I have honored you and am continuing to work through these things with my computer so I can manage it easier.  But this latest project is not simple, it is complicated!”  He reassured me that it was simple.  I just could hardly believe that, but I have had miracles before in computer land, so I said, “OK!”

Guess what happened?  I was up around 3 AM the next morning and decided to update one small file in the glossary.  I accidently clicked on something and suddenly the program took off and did what I had intended, but without the 10 steps I had done yesterday.  In one simple click I updated a file.  I was astonished.  I clicked it again on the next file and it did the same thing! ANOINTED CLICKER FINGERS!!!!  He did exactly what He has promised.  In one simple blooper, what was complex was now simple. 

So whenever you have one of those wringer days, don’t forget to PRAY.  And then ask Him to bring good out of all your bloopers, and you will be rewarded!

Ps 103:19  AMP

The Lord has established His throne in the heavens, and His kingdom rules over all.

Rom 8:28 NKJV

And we know that all things work together for good to those who love God, to those who are the called according to His purpose.
