Falling



I've been listening to Travis Cottrell's CD FOUND. I just can't get enough of it!! Did I say already that I love this CD? Well, I do. It's a good thing that you can't wear out a CD, because if you could, this one would be long gone! The second song on the CD is Falling. Now I really love this song and can belt it out with the best of them as I'm driving back and forth to work. I think, however I'm going to skip that track next time.

You see I'm a klutz. I know I've blogged about this before, but I really am very klutzy. Tonight was one of those nights. As I came in the front door tonight behind the kids, caring my portion of our SONIC stop, I fell.
Not a little fall. Oh no, not me. A great big, spill the soda all over, drop the extra long coney fall. It wasn't pretty. There was food and drink flying all over the place. Our pup, Payton thought she had hit the jack pot!.

I, on the other hand, did not fare quite so well. I don't think I broke anything this time (PTL). Let's just say it's a good thing I have a high pain thresh hold and a prescription for pain killers!

Isn't it great that God isn't klutzy? That He's there to pick us up when we fall, because frankly I don't just fall physically. I also fall spiritually. And He's always there to pick me up, dust me off and provide another "do-over" for me.

So as for me, I'm going to try to be more careful. No more falling for me unless of course it's more in love with Christ! But just in case I do take a wrong step, I'm glad I have a Savior who's always there to catch me in His arms. What a wonderful place to land with or without an extra long coney!

Falling in love even more with Christ,
~Cheryl

How do you do it, Cheryl? As I read your blog, I laugh out loud, worry, pray, and am touched, all in a matter of a few lines! Please take care. You know my love and prayers are with you.

Boy, I surely hope this falling isn't contagious. Just last evening two of the blogs I regularly read had a picture of a foot that was injured due to a fall. And now this morning I read yours, and you tell me you fell!!! Like I said - I hope it's not contagious through blogland!!

Your description of your fall is pretty funny, even if it wasn't pretty!
