I Get It

In college, my roommate and I pretty much lived off of Taco Bell. Most specifically, Nachos BellGrande. The chips, the cheese, the refried beans, the grade D beef. You just can't beat it. Especially when you are 20, and your metabolism lives off of that junk.

Over the years, I've almost completely cut out the Bell. I still get the craving for it, though, every once in a while. But, I've started noticing strange things happening every time I get one of those Nachos BellGrande.

1.) A couple of years ago, I was on my way to work and needed one. I was behind a car, waiting to pull out into the road. The car in front went, my BellGrande started slipping out of the seat, I tried to save it, the car in front of me stopped. I didn't. I rear ended a car, trying to save my nachos.

2.) After a 6 month stretch of being a vegetarian, I quit. I figured that if I was going to eat meat again, I might as well jump in with both feet, and eat the really bad stuff. Remember this? Probably not because I think only my mom and Justin read my blog at this time. Here's your chance.

3.) On Thursday, my boss and I stopped at Toxic Hell, and I just had to get- you guessed it- a Nachos BellGrande. I was eating it, stale chips and all, and a small piece got caught in my throat. I drank tea. I coughed. I ate more nachos. I think I got it out. But, my throat hurts so incredibly bad. It must have scratched it pretty bad. I can hardly swallow without making a crazy face.

We've been reading this devotional book for our small group in church. This week's chapter was about how God doesn't always speak to you in a deep James Earl Jones voice and tell you exactly what he wants you to know. It is up to each person to listen to what God is trying to tell you- whatever means he uses.

God- I hear you. Loud and clear. No more Nachos BellGrandes. Now, do you think you can fix my throat and make it stop hurting?

'preciate it.
