Punch in the Face

Image
#1 Every new day brings lots and lots of tiny, seemingly inconsequential, choices. #2 Many, many times I have made the wrong choices, but I have usually been able to gloss over the mistake. #3 Sometimes, though, it can't be glossed...Sometimes, I just really, justifiably, deserve a punch in the face. Thankfully, no one has ever physically punched me in the face, but I think it might feel better than that gut wrenching feeling you get when you've screwed something up and there's absolutely no way you can take it back.   I hate that feeling.   I had that feeling recently. Outwardly, the whole situation is really no big deal.  It's what it exposed in my heart that made me feel like a squished jelly bean...on the bottom of your shoe...being smeared into the ground...over and over.  Broken and dirty, and a big, fat mess.   Over the past few months my prayer life has been really disappointing.  I didn't really feel like praying -  it was a chore.
