In all honesty, I hate when that happens. It’s like my belt loop never gets caught on anything unless I’m already in a hurry or in a bad mood. In fact, it seems that when I’m already having a bad day, everything inanimate seems to work against me.

But maybe that’s God telling me to stop being extra. Maybe God is saying to me to stop making it all about me — my agenda, my wants, my desires, my timetable . . .

I think that part of the reason I can’t really hear the voice of God is that I’m too much in my own head or too much into my own internal conversations to make room for any other voices. That’s when I need to be intentional to at least let God into the conversations I’m already having in my head.

I do think that pinky toes are designed for finding the corners of furniture in the dark, regardless of your mood. Maybe that’s a part of the fall. Maybe it’s just those little toes being extra. Maybe it’s God teaching me more of that humility and dependence. But can they not? Seriously?
