I had myself a fit last night. Not just a puny pity party of woe is me.
But a dad-gum throwing guitars, cell phone,knocking over chairs and
speakers, swinging from the light fixtures, screaming, pulling my hair
out regulation fit. I even spilled a bottle of wine on the
counter...what a mess. Thank goodness nobody was at home. Now I don't
have these often. It seems about once every five to six years. And
it's mostly about a yearning for perfection in something I don't even
do. Odd thing is the closer this thing gets to perfection the worse it
gets. The further from perfection it strikes me as unbearable. But
when it's right it's oh so good and the world could not do with out it.
No,no I'm not talking about sex. However ? No forget it. Silly thing
about having a depressive fit is you can't just have it about one thing
and leave it alone. No, you got to drag up all kinda what ifs to go
along with what ever started you out. And one stream of thought leads
to fifteen more “dang I wish I had a done it this way or said it that
way” I finished up with my fit and crawled to bed with the house
destroyed. Maybe around 10 or 10:30. Heres the kicker. God is in on
everything. I believe he is in on a good fit as well as the look in a
new born babies eyes. 11:30 I'm up. Already with the worst hangover I
can recall. Two o'clock I'm just finishing up putting everything back
in place. A miracle nothing was broken, just the dark stain on the
counter that looks like maybe I chopped somebody's arm off. From two
until about five o'clock I set in papa's chair and listened. God works
in our lives in the most unusual ways. While we are having fits and
cleaning up he is doing significant things in the lives of others that
affect us. He works in his ways not ours. He brings peace in the midst
of some of the worse fits, hangovers and clean up projects. I'm gona
wait at least six years before I have another one of these duesies, I'm
thinking.
