Stood Up

Have you ever gotten ready for a date/meeting and got stood up?
I had someone coming today for a make up consultation at noon. I took time to prepared and even though I wanted to do other things on my day off, I was ready for this. Half an hour after the appt. time I called it off. The lady never came and never called. The real me wanted to call her and say a few things that were everything but nice. And then I thought, why do that? I've left God waiting for me many times and never got a mean call back. I've left the kids hanging... even my prince Jorge. I decided to put on a big smile and go out to lunch with my girlfriend. I was reminded that not everyone will leave you hanging, there is always someone ready to spend time with you.

They Stopped & Watched!

I had a real cool experience a couple of Sundays ago. We were having a beach baptism celebration in Ft. Lauderdale. There most have been 500 people or more at the beach. I can't remember ever being at the beach with so many friends all at the same time!
At the moment of truth, when the "ceremony" began, I noticed this other group of people. they had been riding some water artifacts, BUT they stopped at the distance like wondering what was going on at the shore. It made me feel so good. I am sure they guessed what it was. They hang on for a while. As I saw them I hoped that one day they might have a story to share too. Just think about it. Isn't it cool that we have something to say? A story to share. I'm in!!! I am proud and happy to continue this journey with my Flamingo family!
