OK! I get it!
Ever notice how life runs in cycles? There's the famed cycle of 3, the cycle of running into a financial windfall just in time to pay for that leak in the roof, the cycle of <insert here>.
I found myself in the middle of a cycle this week. My Dad always told me, "Build great relationships with your dentist, your banker, and your insurance agent, and life will go much easier for you!" Boy has that ever been true.
Something has gone awry in my online billpay recently (but you know this already...) and it has affected my auto insurance accounts. I must have the numbers transposed somehow, due to my undiagnosed-as-of-yet lysdexia (my blog, my word, okay??)
So in the mail I find a pink slip stating that I'm in arrears on one account, and a check from the same company stating that I've overpaid on another. Hence the call to my insurance agent who I have known for over 20 years. I dialed his cell phone because he's asked me to reach him via that route if I ever need to. I left a message and he called back within 5 minutes.
"Hey I'm on my way to another appointment but can I call you back in about an hour and we will figure this out?" he replied after I explained my situation. "Sure!" I said. "I think I'm uninsured on one or more vehicles right now so we are going to drive VERY carefully for just another hour!" (tongue WAY in cheek). "Oh don't worry Kris! If anything happens, I'll take care of you!" I loved that! It does all boil down to who you know doesn't it? (Mom and Dad were right about THAT too!)
So I went on with the rest of my morning knowing that he had me covered. I didn't spend another minute worrying about "what-if's." I sure wish I could play that role with God. I think the cycle I'm in this week is trying to tell me that I need to. I need to trust-fall...I mean really trust-fall. I have a hard time with that. God has given me strength, and a brain, and sometimes I use those God-given blessings to edge him right out of a job.
I know the last few blogs have dealt with this same issue, but it's the cycle I'm in. And I think I finally get the point. It's amazing to me how God uses circumstances in language we will understand to drive his points home.
Take a look at your goings-on this past week. Find yourself in a cycle?
Make it a great day!!
