In My Ear...

Well, today I realized that having a list, for anything, makes me feel like I'm in control. I like being in control. I like making lists. I got a few more things scratched off a two page list of things that I would like to get done in the next month. I also added some things to that list.

I guess that control from the list making was a good thing. It lead me to put a second coat of paint on our front steps, which lead me to realize that they really should be replaced in the next year or so. I decided to call my parents and just put a bug in their ear about them discussing it. My dad answered the phone since mom had been outside weeding. He let mom know I was on the phone and within 10 minutes, she quickly told me that she had to go because she had just heard my dad fall. He's had the flu so I figured that he probably had another seizure since he'd been throwing up his anti-seizure meds. It turns out, that's what it was. She was able to get to him and let him "ride out" the seizure. It just made me think again about how God is always in control. I stopped from picking up the phone twice before but I had that nagging feeling that I should just go ahead and call. I figured fine, I'll call even though telling them about the steps isn't a big deal. Turns out it WAS a big deal because it's very likely that mom would have still been outside working in the yard and wouldn't have been inside to hear dad fall. That's not a for sure thing, but it's a possibility.
