Ok fam, I got a story for you!!!
I landed in Canada at 11:30 last night, drove to my friend's in the city when she tells me that she and her roommate have been experiencing a mouse problem and haven't been able to catch it. I was like: "Meh, no problem I can handle it! They toughened me up this week." Around 4 am Katie flicks the light on and is like, "He's back!" So we grab a frying pan and start banging everywhere to get him to come out. Like a bolt of lightening we see this brown mass scurry by our feet and into the heater. We then proceed to duct tape every nook and crevice around her floor and walls and then with a sigh of relief, we head back to bed, trusting that the problem was solved. At 5ish we hear it again, turn the lights on and decided he must be trying to get out of the vents from suffocation haha. Believing that he would die in there and stay away from us, we turn the lights out and try to sleep. Then I hear the scurrying around my head (I'm sleeping on the floor) so I jump up and I'm like: "That's it! MOUSE-FACE, IT"S TIME TO DIE!!!!" So I frantically chase the thing around the room with a garbage pan and frying pan, and see him crawl into a hole in her chair–yes me, miss vegetarian-wouldn't-hurt-a-fly, me! We jumped on the chair and screamed at it but it wouldn't come out. So what do we do? We roll that chair to the curb!!! Down the halls of her apartment building, out into freezing cold Canada in our PJs and flip it into the dumpster!
We slept very peacefully the rest of the night 🙂
The moral of this story: sometimes smaller issues can become bigger than we expected, and in order to get rid of it, drastic measures may need to be taken. Putting tape on the problem to patch it up and hope it holds may not be enough. If you are struggling with something or if there is something in your life, don't make excuses; don't put a band-aid over it. Cut it off! Rip it off! TOSS IT OUT! And then sleep peacefully friends; rest in the release and freedom He gives you.
