Today’s adventure was to go to the McDonald’s playland. Vomit!!
I mean really, is there a dirtier place on the planet? Add to the germs
a bunch of small people running around and you have my own personal OCD, social
anxiety hell. But whatever, I made a commitment to my kids so we went. And I invited a friend… which was a nice
distraction from the grossness.
After
an hour at the jungle of germs, we headed to Target for a couple of groceries.
I really wanted a Starbucks frap while
we were there, but struggled with whether I should spend the money on the
overpriced cup of delightfulness.
After
checking out, the cashier handed me a coupon for BOGO Target Starbucks frap!
ARE YOU SERIOUS!!!! You see, this particular friend and I have already shared 2
of these BOGO lottery tickets. We are stay-at-home moms (SAHMs) on budgets who
LOVE Starbucks but try not to buy them very often. Spending $6 on 2 venti fraps
instead of 1 really is like winning the SAHM lottery. I practically kissed the
Target cashier and then continued my over-the-top joy as I interacted with the
Starbucks barista.
You
see, as I’ve been struggling lately, I’ve been wondering if I should continue
this whole Something Uncomfortable
journey. Are people reading my posts? Are they getting anything out of what
they are reading? Is God using this ministry? Or am I just driving my Facebook
friends batty with all of the SU posts popping up on their feeds?
And
then God shows up at the Target Starbucks and says, “I’m here. I’m listening.
Go ahead and buy the $6 frap.” Not only did I get to enjoy my favorite
beverage, but I got to pay it backwards on God’s dime. So stinking cool!
I
don’t know who this SU business is helping. What I do know is that it’s helping
me. I’m a better wife, a better mom and a better me because of it.
Are
you being uncomfortable? And are you looking for God in the little things?
