wiener wax

So, today was a day of lessons... as is my life at this point.

Let me begin this post by highlighting how brilliantly smart my husband is, today, I recalled him saying "hey, we really need to wax your car, the paint is getting oxidized..." and me thinking, ugh..OK, oxidized???
I never waxed my car...

So begins my story...

my beloved friend Jen and I thought it would be a glorious day to wash our cars, at the acclaimed "Pearl Wash"... I actually love this car wash it is excellent, five dollars for twelve minutes of sheer car washing glory, all sorts of soaps, spot free rinses, tire shine, engine cleaner, a sweet scrubbing brush, the power of the rinser and the WAX.. oh, the rainbow wax.. So I'm washing my car, and its time for the wax, so I squirt this bright pink wax all over my precious Honda, rinse it off, feeling good, thinking I'm going to have a sparkling car.... pull up to the vacuum area and notice that my car has large splotches of PINK all over it, like someone walked up and splashed slushie all over my car!!!!! and I'm trying to wipe it off with a towel and it ain't workin'... so Jen calls her hubby to ask what the problem could be... guess what he says... "sounds like the paint is oxidized and the wax was absorbed into the paint..." hahahhahahha... oh goodness, wives listen to the valuable wisdom of your husbands... : )

So later, myself and my wonderful friends had to go back over my entire car with some other wax to get the pink off... it made me think about my life...

I have made some mistakes, actually some pretty HUGE mistakes, like I splashed and stained pink slushie all over my life, and now I am in the place of going back and cleaning it all off, fixing my mistakes... I thought about that as I scrubbed all of the pink off my car.. and watching my friends as they were right there helping me along the way, helping me scrub, pointing out areas I missed and just lending me a hand.... I love how Jesus teaches me... He is so clever in that way that he takes the simplest of things and teaches a much larger lesson... Lord, you are good.

So, I continue to press on, cleaning off the slushie mess I have made, watching as the areas of my life get whiter and are looking even better then they were before! :)
