The InsignificantsPosted by Kara on March 3rd, 2010
I admit it. There are times that I use God as my genie in a lamp. Not always. But particularly when traffic is thick and I’m running late or when I want a parking spot close to the entrance when it’s raining. Does God really care if I want to get somewhere on time or if I don’t want to walk far because I’d get wet? Even though He doesn’t always grant my ‘wish’, I do believe He cares.
Case in point: Jim-Jim and I went to the park to play and stopped by Wal-Mart to pick up a prescription on our way home. I let Jim know I was stopping by the store, and he texted me a list of items to pick up. You know, very important stuff like chips and ice cream. While wandering the aisles, I got a call from Lydia (Jim’s sister) letting us know they had made it into town from Louisiana and would need our pack n’ play for baby Elle while they stayed in a hotel during a conference. She was at Wal-Mart and would stop by afterward to pick it up. Well, no need! We met on the ice cream topping aisle, and I had my pack ‘n play in the car- it had been stuffed in my back seat since our Christmas travels. It was February.
How easy was that?! I do believe God pays attention to the seemingly insignificant details of our lives. And I’ve convinced myself that God used my laziness in not unpacking the pack ‘n play to bless Lydia’s life. You’re welcome, Lydia. I’ll be lazy for you any time!
