It’s 12:53 and I have a nagging headache, yet here I am, faithfully blogging for my loyal readers. Both of you.

Ok, just kidding about that last part. I am extremely grateful for anyone who reads this. But it is now 12:54 and I still have a headache and my typing skills are worse than usual. Not that they were ever really any good.

Life is kinda like going to the Goodwill store. You go in looking for something specific, but end up with something else. In this case, I was looking for old Caedmon’s Call CDs, but ended up with three t-shirts, one Tori Amos CD, a portable CD player, and three books. All for just over $20. Plus, one of the books was half price, thanks to the orange price sticker.

God is like that, too. You go to Him in prayer with something specific in mind and you sometimes get something completely different. But definitely what you get is always better.

If I’m so stuck on getting that one specific thing I’m asking for, I fail to appreciate the value of what I’m getting instead. Usually, what I think I need that I can’t live without (or who I think I can’t live without) turns out to be something I just wanted that I can live without. The more I look back later on that thing or that person, the more I’m glad I didn’t get what I prayed for.

Wow. I just got deep for 1:02 in the morning. I guess this blog did end up with something nutritional in it after all. And the headache’s a little better.

So, thank you, God, for Excedrin Migrane, Goodwill, Tori Amos, orange price stickers, and (best of all) for giving me what is good for me instead of what looks good to me.

Here endeth the blog. Good night. At 1:06 am.
