Channeling the Doogie

Post 2 of my blog and I'm beginning to feel a bit like Doogie Howser... complete with my lesson for the day.  Cue the dramatic music!!!  Unfortunately, it takes me much longer than 24 hours, or a 30 minute drama/sitcom, to realize that I'm never going to have some things figured out.

On the other hand, I do have signs... no not "Here's your sign", although those moments arise frequently, but rather beacons of warnings or premonitions.  Yep, God talks to me all day, through tiny signs in my life.  They could be really small signs like seeing a friend, missing the green light, not being able to find a shoe, or finding $5 in my jeans.  Sometimes the good signs may slide by unseen and even unappreciated, to which I have no excuse for except to learn to embrace the small blessings.  It's usually the beacons of warnings that I hear loud and clear - don't travel that road, remember to charge your cell, lock your car (which I forgot to do and that VERY night someone broke in), a simple disagreement, a certain song, a quote or verse... those things that usually jump out at me and bonk me on the head as if God were saying "Kelly, if you keep down this path it will break your spirit! This is not a good situation for you to be involved in."  Do I always LISTEN?... nope, I'm too busy trying to reason why I'm on the path in the first place.  Eventually, days, months, and even years may go by, and I always seem to run smack dab and face first into that damn sign again!  I've got to accept that certain things are meant to happen, some relationships are toxic, and life waits for no one.

Right now I don't have to figure anything out - I just need to pay attention to the signs!
