Last week I was facing overwhelming floods in my life that just about drowned me, and I don't know how to swim. It was one of those weeks where I kept wanting to blink my eyes and quote to myself - it's a dream, a terrible, awful dream! But I'd open my eyes, and - nope - not a dream. It was real. What's worse, it was my reality. I almost wished those floods would wash me away - me or my situations. But no, everything was still intact. And then something happened to me. I took charge. ME!! I took control, and though I have yet to see a resolution that is satisfactory, nevertheless - I TOOK CONTROL!!! I straightened my shoulders and started working on the issues. I - ME!!! - refused to continue being overwhelmed, and controled by the situation. The week started tough, but I ended the week tougher.
My best friend sent me an email on Friday- she was checking on me (I had sent her a missive asking for her prayers because of my situation). I told her that though things were not resolved, still I was in a better state. I was taking charge of the situation. I told her that I really felt like I was drowning and she knows I can't swim. She remarked in a missive - one that I will never erase - "Sorry, sounds like you're swiming, and you didn't know you could." Sometimes friends just know the right things to say at just the right time!
