Cutting Lines

Matt is mowing lawns today and he requested that I have mac n cheese ready for him when he got home. 

So I head on down to Aldi's to pick up some milk for his dish. I pull in, and find a parking spot close to the front and proceed to pull in. Before I have a chance to slow down, a white SUV comes flying from the opposite direction, in MY lane, and takes the parking spot. 

....Just kidding! 

I thought to myself, "wow..." but then, remembering patience, "no biggie, there is a spot right here." so I park. We both get out and look at each other. I gave her a friendly smile, and kept walking. I go straight back to get the milk and come back up front to check out. There is kind of a long line but there normally is. 

Next thing I know, the SAME lady comes up and steps right in front of me. My heart started racing, I was thinking "are you serious? how can you just blantantly take my parking spot AND cut in front of me in line..." but I took a deep breath, prayed, and let it go. She turns around and says "I forgot something" and heads back in the store. I was like oh okay :) that works out. About 5 minutes later, she comes back and cuts right in front of me. AGAIN. I opened my mouth, about to blurt out "Uh maam thats the 3rd time you've cut me off today!" but I shut my mouth really quick, remembering fools are quick to speak and act. 
A cashier comes over and says to me,


"I can take you over here" 


I thought "YESSSSSS thank you LORD" and I start over to her line. THEN the lady screams out "DAT WHITE BITCH CUT THE LINE!" I didn't turn around. I didn't look at her. I didn't say anything. I prayed quietly in my head. I checked out and felt her staring me down as I walked out the door. 


So typical that all of that would seriously bother me, but I made it out with no harsh words and kept God in the front of my mind the whole time. This is just proof that God really is working in my life...cuz everyone who has known me for a while, knows that I would have called her out the first time she cut me. And when she yelled out that I CUT the line, that would have turned into a screaming match. Not anymore. Thank you Jesus.
