Last night I prepared my grocery
shopping list, but by the time I had done it, I had run out of data
on my cell phone and today being pay day, I had to wait till morning
to buy the data. I had sent the mail from my junk mail box to my
regular mail account and I told myself to cc my office address and
just did not do it. Unfortunately the mail timed out and never made
it to my phone.
I figured it wasn't really a problem
because tonight I was supposed to get my monthly massage and tomorrow
(Thursday) would be shopping day. NOT. I got a call from the salon
to move the massage to tomorrow and thus I had to get shopping done
tonight, the weekend I have other plans. Well there I sat trying to
get access to my junk mail box at the office and nothing I tried
worked. If I had emailed it to the office, it would have been a
simple forward exercise.
So what did that all cost me, stress
and a rushed 20 minutes at home trying to get it all sorted out
before I could head to the shop. Luckily grace intervened and the
shop was going to be open later so I ended up being able to take my
time as planned.
It was just a simple lesson to me again
of listening to my own inner voice and then disobeying it and paying
the price. Recent events in my life have made that so clear and yet
I still didn't listen. Sure it was a small consequence now, but in
other situations it could have been a disaster.
God has given us the inner witness as
one of the ways that he speaks to us. It is our conscience at work
that helps us determine right from wrong and danger from safety. It
is so important for us to learn to listen to that voice because in
any given situation it really could save our lives.
Please don't make the same mistake I
did, listen to yourself!
