answering machine...

hello friends! it has been way too long! i confess to letting life get in the way of my twice weekly goal to post something to make you smile, or keep you smiling...but don't we all have a problem of being too busy? i digress...

how often do you check your mail? voicemail, email, texts, etc...

i have this insane worry that i will be needed urgently at the very time there is no way to contact me, so i compulsively check my various types of mail and messaging services to make sure everyone is okay, and that i am not needed. crazy, huh?

what about when you need someone desperately and cannot contact them? does it make you more upset, or do you worry about them? or, like me, do you sometimes have a niggling feeling that there is a reason they did not answer or reply immediately? perhaps, they didn't want to talk to you, they are hurt, they can't help you...the list continues. it is a tough place to be in, especially when you really really really really really need someone.

want to know something absolutely awesome? God does not have an answering machine.  He is ALWAYS there, exactly when you need Him, and if you don't get a reply immediately it isn't because He is ignoring you. He is replying! He says 'wait, and see what else I have in store for you...'

so, when you really really need someone to talk to, let your someone be Him. He will be listening.

hugs, love, smiles, and laughter!
