wish I had kept quiet

Last night we had a church meeting.  We were discussing some lofty topic when I decided to put my two cents worth into the discussion.  Reflecting on what I said it was not worth two cents.  I spoke out of my own tiredness and disappointments with certain past happenings.  Although no one said anything to me after the meeting, I felt terrible.  Going home, I shared with my spouse who looked at me like I was from a different planet.  She wondered what I was even talking about.  I put my head on the pillow and wondered if I knew what I was talking about.  I laid awake for a few minutes and wondered if I could be transported to a new setting and start over somehow in a new life.  (Well, maybe it was not that bad but you get the idea)

Despite my many thoughts I did sleep well.  However, I still was thinking about how stupid I was as I was walking my dog and talking to God.  God seemed to agree that I was not His smartest student but He did tell me He loved me.  That was a plus!  The more I talked with God He seemed to nudge me to take some positive steps that would help the entire situation.  So, as I write these words today I write them as a person who knows they are human and can fail in many ways but also a human that God loves.  I wish I was perfect but it is only wishful thinking.  But it is not wishful thinking to trust God and follow Him in spite of my weaknesses.
