My name is AnitaB and I am a Diet Coke addict...I hit rock bottom today when...well let me give you some background.
My diet coke addiction began in adolescence, when my love for food brought me to the realization that I need to replace my cookie/chip addiction with a guilt free kind of pleasure. I, as so many others, turned to a different kind of drug...DIET COKE... Diet coke and I have had a long friendship, it's a give-give relationship...I buy it and drink it...it keeps coming back for more. SO you see it loves ME too!
My rock bottom was today when JP my roofer brother brought me a diet coke from McDonald's (an avid DC drinker himself, The McD's DC is the Gold standard of DC's so he was bringing me a real gift)
I took the gift and went to my room...the baby was asleep...the laundry done...the dishes washed, the house clean...only me my DC from the golden arches and LOST on DVD. I was adjusting my pillows so settle in for a mid afternoon treat when I knocked over my DC...onto my new carpet...in my rental house
In the blink of an eye my shiny happy life crumbled...I began to cry REAL tears.
Whether I love diet coke or not was my afternoon truly ruined...was my life in shambles. I thought back to Yesterday and our pastors sermon. He said take the challenges of life one day at a time, and if thats too much one hour or one minute at a time.
Philippians 3:12-14
12Not that I have already obtained all this, or have already been made perfect, but I press on to take hold of that for which Christ Jesus took hold of me. 13Brothers, I do not consider myself yet to have taken hold of it. But one thing I do: Forgetting what is behind and straining toward what is ahead, 14I press on toward the goal to win the prize for which God has called me heavenward in Christ Jesus.
So I mopped up my coveted DC and made a cup of tea
I love it! Keep writing - I love reading blogs!
