Ol' Brer Fox Has Got His Way in the Laughing Place This Very Day...

It's kinda creeping me out how everything happening in my life can be applied to a song or line from a song in Song of the South... Guess that makes the theme more appropriate.

For those of you who don't know what the work drama is, Brer Fox got a hold of my favorite possum and ate her up. It's stressed me to no end; I dream about it every night and I've unfortunately picked up the nasty habit of teeth-grinding because of it. 

I snuck away from the real world today and had a lovely morning in church. Every day when we start, the pastor gives everyone about five minutes to "prepare our hearts for worship" and basically come to God with our burdens. Because I was visiting Nephew Rabbit last weekend, I had yet to come to god with the particular burden regarding my sweet possum. It was quite a powerful five minutes, as I felt the weight slowly being lifted as I addressed this problem to Him. My troubles were put into perspective as well, as another member of our group could not afford a life-saving surgery. Our pastor took $10,000 out of the missionary fund to pay for it himself. God bless TRUE worshippers like him.

But it really made me realize that things aren't going too bad in my life right now. I don't particularly enjoy waking up and having to trudge off to the Laughing Place now, but it's far from the worst job ever. And who knows how things will go? Brer Bear comes back from his trip tomorrow, and he may just give Brer Fox a well-deserved clubbing on the head for all this drama.

Or not. Really, who knows what will happen. Just gotta keep on trucking; really, it's not that bad. Can I do anything about it? Nope.

You can't run from trouble. Aint no place that far.

you are working through it all. That is what you have to do... work through it cause sometimes you just can't go over it or under it or around it... you just gotta go THROUGH it. And in the end... you will be stronger.
