Has there ever been a time in your life where you are doing things you know you shouldn't, and God steps in and intervenes for you? No, I don't mean robbery or something like that... Let me explain: One of our biggest hang ups is eating out on the run. Like most Americans with kids, we are busy people... driving everywhere, eating in the car, wasting money on gross food... It adds up fast!
This time of year is extremely busy, and I haven't made time to go grocery shopping. Therefore,our lunch supplies are extremely lacking! In other words, we are out of yogurt, my daily breakfast (insert sad face)
So on my way to work, I call my husband and explain the situation, asking if it would be ok if I stopped at Tim Horton's for yogurt. He says sure... so I swing in, and wait... and wait... and wait... the line doesn't move. Literally the cars sat there for FOUR minutes. When I can finally move, I swing out of line and head to work without yogurt (insert sad face) Instead I raid my work mom's stash for free...
Later on this evening, I really wanted a Dr. Pepper... so I swing into the drive thru at the gas station, and there is a line I've never seen before! FOUR cars ahead of me! So, I say "OK God, I get it... no junk food today, I'll save the money" and just head home.
Doing the right thing on our own isn't always in our forethought... Sometimes we all could use a little intervention from above right?
I totally know what you mean, I was in the drive thru for Taco Bell (using my blow money) but still SO not okay on my diet.. and the line was redonkulous!! so I pulled away, the better for it!
