I had completely forgotten...totally ignored?...that this was Super Tuesday, primary day! The day we vote for our choice to run for President in November. When I was reminded...well, talk about gobsmacked!
Not to put too fine a point on it, but my thinking got bollixed up, and I took some God-time to get straightened out, then dressed for show and out the door to go vote. By get straightened out, I mean I had to unthink. I let all my plans backtrack, start over and put me on hold.
The point of all that is simply that it reminds me of how important it is to me that my quiet time be the first thing I do each morning.
My yesterday's "bollixed up" was my calm before my storm of yesteryear...when taking myself too seriously reigned.
I let that fact warm me right now, accepting that I don't think a lot about spiritual growth...I'm just grateful I live it. Having such a pure example, though, of what my reaction before would have been and my reaction yesterday is the pearl beyond price.
Again, my spiritual growth is counterintuitive. My set-in-concrete plans to do my taxes dismantled by my need to vote and I did not have a hissy fit. Beyond doubt, my self-determined objective met God's perfect objective, and I am grateful.
Thank you.
