on being put to the test - my faith journey #2

I like to think of myself as a person of great faith.

But last night God took me to the edge of the cliff
and dangled me over saying - as Ben Gates said to
to Abigail Chase in National Treasure: Do you trust
me?  - with God all the while thinking Let's see what
Sue does now.

I was talking with my daughter last night  - she sometimes
steps in and counsels me - not an easy job.
When the deal on the house was not finalized as hoped
I lost it, and was reduced to tears, blurting out my 
innermost hostilities toward God that I had been saving for
such an occasion.

But my daughter has four children of her own - ages 12, 9, 6, and 4
and in her gentle but firm voice she said, 'Mom, you are tired.
Get some sleep.  Things will look better in the morning.'

Today the deal went through.

Only slightly embarrassed that God exposed me for the
faithless, weakling that I am, I am confident that God
and I are on solid ground once more.

Thanks, God.

For what, you ask?

Nothing in particular.

Just...thanks.
