Unexpected, Long Anticipated Refreshment
The occasions in life are rare that you receive or generate a clean slate. The normal proceedings of time seem to create a pileup of baggage, necessary and unnecessary, physical and emotional.
Whether due to debt, overwork, or any other debilitating burden, the desire for a clean slate arises far more often than it manifests.
But sometimes…you get a clean slate.
Sometimes…you do the work and remove a procrastinated project from your slate and wonder why you didn’t do it months ago.
Sometimes…your worst fears are not realized. The judgement and disaster that you feared simply doesn’t happen, and you sense that you have a clean slate.
Sometimes…good fortune smiles on you and all you can do is be grateful for a very long time.
Sometimes…opportunity arises when you had given up on it.
Sometimes…you confess your weakness and ask for help and are baffled by how quickly and easily someone else guides you into a new season of life.
Sometimes…your prayers are answered from the outside in.
Sometimes…your prayers are answered from the inside out.
Sometimes…you get a clean slate.
