I wasn't sure this was the right place to post this. (?)
Anyway, today I was sitting at my computer when I heard water pouring on my closet roof. Since I just had a new roof installed a year ago, obviously this was a serious slap in the face moment. I felt like - God why are you doing this to me - and I got up to investigate. Yep, the roof is leaking right over my closet, and we have the worst rain to follow tomorrow. So I was able to get buckets placed below the leaks and now everything is ok again under the circumstances. After things calmed down I asked myself (and God?) why this happened to me since I have not been causing problems and drama for my fellow man, etc. While I can't say it was God answering me in some miracle, etc. I can say that I was actually lucky in this problem as I caught the leak before the water ruined our drywall. Thus making a problem into a giant expensive problem. So in hind site I do feel lucky and thankful even if I still have a big problem to deal with once this rain event passes.
I thought this might be a good thing to share since we all have these kinds of dramas in our lives, and they suck royally. But they are not truly worth the hate and anger that we feel when they first happen.
