I have a new sense
of compassion to my sisters with the issue of blood. I have what others may consider a normal
period. The usual 5 days of going
through the process, pain change heavy light fade end. Pretty routine. After decades of the same
thing I pretty much got it down to a science.
The days of having accidents as we call them were over for me. I am well past my thirties (unbelievable) and
so those days of teenage mishaps were over.
Well, not
today. I am at the end of what I felt
( still do to be honest0, was a very productive day. I got some things checked of my running to do
list and the high exhilarating. I stood
in preparation to get ready to exit the building. Walked from my office to the hall and felt
something running down my stocking clad legs.
Looking down in complete shock I saw that blood was dripping down unto
my shoes and unto the hallway carpet!!!!
Aghast I tried to
walk as carefully as I could manage without any more spills on a carpet that I can’t
clean. Oh the horror to discover I was a
mess and nothing to change into. Still I
reasoned it could be worse. This could
have happened when most of the staff was still present as opposed to the end of
the day when near everyone was gone.
I re-entered my
office armed with paper towels and a garbage bag. What I found was large stains
of crimson decorating my carpeted office floor.
I didn’t even know when that happened. I didn’t feel anything when I stood
and yet the signs showed that I had a very large mishap.
I say all of this
to say that in spite of this rather embarrassing situation I am determined to
see the good in the bad. I am determined
to thank, love and honor God even when the circumstances are demanding I do
differently.
So, thank you God
for covering my shame. This still points me to your provision for me. Lord you provided seemingly out of nowhere a
real cloth in my desk drawer (the paper towel was in shreds) that I happened to
have, and a bottle of cleaner that I also happened to have handy in my office.
I love you for loving me and I honor you in all things.
Oh my Lando that must have been very embarrassing let along scary. Glad things worked out in the end and like you said thank goodness it happened after hours.
