Road Runner vs Wile E. Coyote

Lately I’ve been feeling like I’m the Road Runner and there is this devilish Wile E. Coyote that is trying to catch me.  Wile E. Coyote continues to concoct these complex and ludicrous devices from a mail-order company to catch the Road Runner.

For those of you who like a more biblical example, I feel like Job.  I can just picture Satan and God sitting up there on their white fluffy cloud coming up with awkward situations, crazy people, and other pot holes to drop in front of me.

I wonder if they are keeping score. Every time Satan comes up with a good one, God, spins it and says, look what she’s learned, now she’s now even more prepared for the plan I have for her. So when Satan thinks he has the upper hand, God just thanks him for preparing me at such a young age.  It’s hard to believe what they’ve crammed into my life so far.

I can totally see it:

Satan: Let’s marry her off to a porn addict.

God’s response: Good, job. From that experience she got the help she needed to discover she has Celiac disease.  In addition when she has kids she’ll be able to teach them the evils of Porn and how it will ruin your life from first hand experience. Also it will give her the ability to empathize with other wives of porn addicts.

Satan: Let’s set her up with an alcoholic

God’s response: No worries, I’ve got someone to intervene in her life to get her out of that situation.

Satan: Let’s surround her with life sucking people at work. And he goes and picks out the two biggest gossips and plops them down next to her.

God’s response: No worries, I will find her an even better job.

******************************************

Satan: Let’s turn some of her family members against her

God’s response:  I got that covered I made sure she was born into a huge family and I will bring those other amazing family members into her life and she will gain a so much more love and support then she lost.

Satan: Let’s make her work experience in Corporate America miserable. In addition let's close as many companies as possible.

God’s response:  I gave her intelligence and a college education so even if one job opens she will be prepared for the next one. And I should be really thanking you for not making working in Corporate America so fun, fulfilling, and rewarding or she would never want to leave and would never accomplish all I had in store for her if all she does was work.

I don’t know what is ahead for me, but I do know God has a plan for me. He is watching my every move. Trying his best to whisper direction into my ear and the ears of people around me.  And with every anvil/grenades/dynamite Satan drops in my path, God drops in a magic carpet.
