Life lessons at the copy store. I had a UPS part to drop off the other day and a local office store lets us drop off packages there instead of driving to the south side of town. Â So I walked in with my package. There was one girl behind the big counter. She was towards the back of the counter pulling paper out of a copy machine. Whatever project she was working on looked broken. Â Something wasn’t right. She looked at me and turned back to her task at hand. Â She seemed very frustrated. It was like the paper ripped in the copy machine and she was pulling it out piece by piece.
As time slipped by I started getting more and more frustrated. Â I am thinking in my head, “Hello, do you see me here? Are you trying to ignore me? I am the customer here – come on chickey.” But the longer I stood there, the more she buried her head in the copy machine to fix it. Â Finally I resigned and just waited thinking, ” I guess I’ll just have to wait until she is done.”
Immediately God spoke to my spirit.
IT IS BROKEN
I AM FIXING IT
GIVE ME A MINUTE HERE…
Yeah, really. Â In my impatience I was only worried about what I wanted and what I needed. Â And I want it now! This is true for so many areas of my life right now. Â I don’t see the big picture. I am getting lost and worried in the details. I have so many unanswered questions. But God, in His goodness, showed me He has it. He is fixing it. And I just need to give Him a minute…
God bless you as we go into a new season and all the kids go back to school.

I thank God every day for my friend, Diana! He sent you as an Angel to guide me!
I had a very similar experience the other day, but did not have the redeeming insight so quickly as you did. Thank you.
