I feel the wet cement floor under my feet, and the small splashes of freezing cold water that are slowly dripping from the shower head, as I stand there looking around at the cob webs, and big bug that I can't catch because I can only see him when his pesky body is illuminated by the small cracks of light that shine through the creepy wooden door. Its been 45 minutes, and I stand there my body covered in some sticky "leche" stuff, only 15 minutes more to go… I keep telling myself that I have to listen to the doctors orders. I stand there, naked, cold and sticky and just laugh and wonder what God is teaching me by getting a skin parasite and having the most ridiculous remedy to get rid of it. I wonder how standing for an hour naked and cold for 4 days in a row is bringing glory to His kingdom. Then I laugh harder, because I just think God has a really good sense of humor.
I walked into this season of my life knowing I would be letting go of everything I know and stepping into a world full of unknowns and unexpected turns. I was excited for that, I still am. I wasn't quiet sure what life was going to look like, or the things I would be experiencing. Without fail, everyday I have a new eye opening, heart changing, fun experience that is becoming a part of my story, another dash of paint in this perfect masterpiece God is creating for my life. So in this crazy life, when things get a little uncomfortable, a little sticky, you just have to embrace it and know that the creator of the universe has a plan, even if it is to just laugh with you.
Laughing &
Loving every Moment,
Erica
