• God & Google

   by miss hibiscus

  I am feeling pretty cruddy today - moody, tempermental, depressed, bitter, etc.  I guess I can echo what Mrs. Dandelion wrote about in her Fruit of the Spirit entry.  I've just been really "off" this week.

  This morning, I'm especially feeling out of sorts and angry with my family (and myself).  They drive me crazy and won't leave me alone and gosh I am so flippin' exhausted from dealing with them!  I am a twenty-something adult and all I want to do is run away from home!  Pathetic, I know.

  But then I was going through my iGoogle gadgets.  These days, I can't seem to do anything without Google: I've got the calendar, mobile reminders, Gmail, the reader, Gtalk, daily Calvin & Hobbes, weather, movie reviews/times, famous quotes, and... Bible verses.

  Today's verse was this:

  Be joyful always; pray continually; give thanks in all circumstances, for this is God's will for you in Christ Jesus.
  1 Thessalonians 5:16-18

  I think I had a scowling look on my face when I read this because I was a little peeved that God had put it in front of me.   It's something I don't want to hear, but precisely what I need to hear.  How does he know?!?  (<-- me, not wanting to admit I'm wrong)

  I'm still processing and absorbing and working on giving up my anger, mood, bitterness, etc. to the Lord today.  But deep down, I know I'm glad that God spoke to me in this way... through Google, no less.  He knows how to get my attention .
