Life Coaching: Broken Phones and Repetitious Habits

Help me, Jesus, I am sick again! My daughter called it a rebound effect, but it sure feels like the full on sinus infestation has crawled back into my head!  Pray for me, my friends! It’s not looking pretty!  

I am a serial iPhone dropper. I have dropped my phone so many times, it has perpetual cracks in the case. I have replaced the glass cover three times, the last time after sticking it in my pocket and a piece of glass stuck in my backside. That one was a difficult one to explain. I was at the baseball field, and our team had just struck out. I jumped up and screamed, “Ouch!” I am convinced that people thought it was a response to the strike out...which is fine by me. The truth is even more embarrassing...

Do you have repetitious things you do over and over again? What are they? How do you respond to them? How has that affected your life? In my case, my phone randomly changes the words on my keyboard to the most outlandish things imaginable. Case in point: it just changed “random” (a perfectly good word) to Rodanthe. Who in their right mind uses “Rodanthe” in a sentence? I have no plans to visit and it doesn’t even make sense in context. I know iPhones randomly (!) do this but it’s gotten much worse after the last time I dropped it face first onto the sidewalk. Ok, so I know that’s bad, but I’m clumsy as an “ox,” which this phone just tried to change to “ice.”  Grrrr....

In the midst of my cold medicine “induced” state (which this phone just tried to change to “inducted mention”...yeah, figure THAT one out), this makes no sense even to me and I’m the one writing it...I feel I am on the cusp for a new phone, a dilemma I have caused myself from my sheer clumsiness. 

Have you ever felt that you have caused your own discomfort? In what way? I’m gonna turn on the comments, and I’m asking you to leave a reply. You don’t have to get real personal because after all, this is the “Internet” (which the phone just tried to spell “interim), but I would love to see your response. I know one thing...even if I cause my own messes, God helps me out of them! He might not give me a brand new iPhone for free (doggone it), but He will supply what I need.   And that’s enough for today. And tomorrow and the next day...
