On Thursday night, our power went out
late in the evening. For some unknown reason when this happens every
now and then the alarm key pad starts beeping with a loud scream to
let you know that there is no power coming to the control panel (as
if you didn't know that already). You usually have to go and key in
your pin code and then the screaming stops.
This however went on all night. I
would just fall asleep and it would start screaming again. Up I got
again every time. At around 5am however it decided that this time
it would not keep silent, no matter how many times I keyed in the
code. Exhausted and still needing more sleep I dragged my bedding
downstairs and crashed on the sleeper couch. The distance of being
downstairs and a closed door helped.
I tried contacting my boss to find out
if I could have the day off as lack of sleep makes me really grouchy.
Unfortunately for me it was a “No can do!” Unfortunately
neither he or my supervisor were available so I'd have to make the
trip. The day was long and dragged on but I finally got through and
crashed early that night.
There are times in life when we are
just not going to have everything go our way, but we need to have the
grace and strength to deal with it. At times like these we can take
courage and strength in God's word! After all, we CAN do all things
through Christ!
