Positive

My IPod broke...again! This time it was different, though. My reaction the first time was, "NOOOOOOOO!". I was freaking out thinking of how my whole life style would be flipped upside down. This time it was, "O, that sucks". I had tons of school work and it would be about 3 or 4 days before I could make it to Apple to get a replacement, that is if they could replace it at all. "O well". I have recently been really into listening to podcasts; basically people yacking for about 45 minutes or so. It was pretty much constant noise for the whole day. Today went along as normal without it. "O well". Christian thought usually goes like, "Ok so what is God teaching me through this circumstance". Is it ever positive? No, it is usually, "God is revealing some idol in my life" or "God just had to stop the noise so He could speak to me". I plugged in the Ipod today and it worked fine, it wasn't even broken. No trip to Apple, no replacement. "O well". I was doing laundry and He just spoke to me, "see, you'll be just fine with or without it". What a positive message. "It's NOT an idol" and "I can speak to you through anything". Sometimes things just get messed up and there is no message at all; it's the world we live in. But if God has to intervene, can't it be positive? If something goes wrong again, I want to patiently say, "o well".
