God's Laughing At Me!

How do I know God loves to laugh? Because He listens to me wallow in my dark place and gently shows me that I'm wrong and that He loves me. Surprisingly, He spoke to me through design class.

I was having an "eck" day. I was tired, hungry, and sure didn't feel attractive because I had over selpt and not had enough time to get ready in the morning. I also felt dumb because I had seen some photography from a freshman that was AMAZING. I also felt lonely.

So there I am, sitting in class, and of the 14 pieces we were voting on, mine was the only one to not get a single vote. Oh! How that hurt! I started railing on myself. Then I asked God why? I told Him how I was feeling: worthless.

Right then, God was laughing at me. You see, He knew what was going to happen next.

Clint decided to pick some of his favorites to talk about. The last one he put up was mine. He then preceded to talk about how this one was his favorite--how I had gone out on a limb to try something new. I sat there, ashamed. I had just been wallowing in my self-pity and worthlessness when I received praise for something that I had done. But I didn't see it as praise from my professor. I felt it as praise from my Creator.

And He continued to laugh.

Christine, who is in the design class right after mine, said that Clint showed my design to her class as well. Now I really felt stupid. Thankfully, it was only before my Father in heaven. That's not so bad.


So here I stand. Laughing right along with Him.
