Now the "best friend promises" are pretty common in my life ... but they usually involve diet coke. Pretty sure I told the bartender at a recent wedding that I would be her best friend if she'd just let me have the whole can. But I truly do not think I've ever made that offer to God.
Chalk it up to a LOOOOONNNNNNNNGGGGG two weeks of leadership retreat, weddings, dawgfest, and first week of school. Maybe take into consideration that it was after 2 am and I had just returned from a Friday at work/preparation for our discipleship kickoff/a cookout for about 80/a screen on the green that got moved to the green carpet with the threat of rain ... that later became a full-on storm that flooded the BCM. Yep, that's what I said!!! So while we were within 10 minutes of being finished cleaning up from the awesome night (albeit heading to the freshman allnighter) ... we instead found the four of us bailing water downstairs at BCM where the flood was rolling in. There was a good 1 1/2 - 2" ... and every time we swept it ... well, it just came from somewhere else.
This is Laura, our fearless women's ministry leader being a servant leader:
I WOULD like to note that this was about an hour into the fiasco after we had swept, vacuumed, squeegeed gallons of water out the front door! There was a lot of laughter ... although I kind of have to admit that I was wishing maybe we had just been about 15 minutes earlier leaving and NOT the ones who found ... and subsequently dealt with the mess! But, again, lots of laughter, lots of great arm workouts, and the thought that D (discipleship) team ... might now be F (flood) team!!!
So, I guess it's understandable that I would be making deals with God at 2 am ... deals that included raining on the next cookout (tomorrow) and giving me a good excuse to be lazy. So glad that He knows how I am! So, God, I might just be your best friend if you let it rain all day tomorrow!
