Last week I hit a point where a meltdown was coming. One of those personal, I-don't-know-what-God-is-doing-here moments. It had been coming for awhile. The problem was that there was no way I could let myself crash that day, or the next one, or the next one after that. So, I decided that I would schedule this breakdown. (quit laughing now) With tears in my eyes, I told some friends last Friday that I was planning a meltdown for Monday. Being dear sisters in Christ, one of these friends brought me some Dove chocolates for my meltdown. Each one of these rich treats has a quote on the inside of the wrapper. Sarah and I have passed these chocolate quotes back and forth before, so we have been saving our favorites...
Sarah's... "Shopping makes everything better!"
Rachel's..."A pessimist is really an optimist with experience."
Lest you think we only look to chocolate wrappers for our encouragement...
Jeremiah 17: 7-8
Blessed is the man who trusts in the LORD and whose trust is the LORD. For he will be like a tree planted by the water, that extends its roots by a stream and will not fear when the heat comes; but its leaves will be green and it will not be anxious in a year of drought nor cease to yield fruit.
So I learned that chocolate wrappers are not always prophetic, God's Word is ALWAYS true, and one cannot schedule meltdowns.
i must point out, dear chocolate friend, that they were DOVE brand. :)
