Danty my dear sister
Upon readig you post , I couldn't help it but smile , (see ? , who said our efforts go without benefits , even when we think we are "failing" , it is working on others.... it put a smile on my face , now that can't be all-bad , can it ?)
Speakin of myself , whenever I saw something that I liked , I immediately wanted it to be in my posession ... immediatly ! . Yep , the good ole addage , I want it , I want it all , and , I want it NOW . So , quite naturally (for me anyways) , without even reaching in my pocket to see how much money is in there , I immediately set out to plotting out schemes and plans on how to to "get" this ... immediately ! Off the shelf comes the mental-planning calculator and start punching some numbers ... 30 here , 20 there , 40 from somewhere else and ....
10 from my pocket ! There !!! 100% right ? .... Uh Ohhh .... Back to the drawing board ....Ok , lessee . Calculation , check . Calculator , check . Plan (mine) , check . So where is it ??? .... "vahn , you can't buy a 100 dollar item with 10 " ... But ... but ...
So , comes Mr Got-it-all , and starts telling me how he got his , and says ... "Installment plan" ... oh , what does he know , and I ask another , and he says "Lay-away" .... Pffftt , .. NEXTTT ! , "I waited till they went down with the prices" .... No , no , NOOO , you guys are NOT getting this right " .
Ok , so , maybe these guys ARE not getting it "right" ... but regardless , they GOT it ! ...I , on the other hand dint get it at ALL . WHY ?
Funny thing , ever notice ? , whenever we ask the question "why" , that question mark has a way of looking like a lightbulb ? ... Or , at least half of it ?
I need to ask myself but one question , "What's stopping me " .
Luv ya
In Christ , our Lord

P.S. Whenever we rip a bandaid off , especially before complete healing , the bandaid takes the protective scab off with it and opens the wound once again... back to the drawing board.
