Caught with my pants around my Ankles!!!

Okay... everyone has had the dream about going to school naked!

Today, I got to experience that feeling.

See with every person in the world, we all have our title or place in the world, family and society. For me, I am the goof of my family. The one that always gets into funny situations, that no one can believe happened unless they were there to witness it. Well, in God's family... I really believe that God uses me as His comical relief sometimes. Sometimes, there are moments where even I go... Really?!?!?! Is this happening....

Some examples...

Giving my testimony about three years ago, I walked up the stairs to the stage and tripped. Who trips up stairs, first of all ? I DO!!! So I ended up flashing the whole church of about 700 people. Yes, Christina was full mooning it at church! My opening line and testimony changed and trying to soften the ackward moment of whether Christians should laugh or not... I busted up laughing and saying... "Well, pretty sure some of you thought I wasn't going to open up that much today... now did you?" At that point, I went on to share that it's okay to laugh at things that are funny. We're Christians and God loves laughter and I'm pretty sure God was laughing there too becuase honestly, that was funny!

Then just a couple of weeks, I ended up at a "AA" recovery church group. In my defense, the title of the class just sounded awesome!!! "Pursing a Godly Heart!" So I went, well.. after the class was in full session and the introductions were going on. At about the third intro, it clicked that I was not were I was suppose to be. Not sure what to do or even what to say when it was my turn, I started praying and wishing I could just say "Pass". Then the teacher looks at me and says... "Who are you and tell us about you!" Being Christina, I came back with... "Well, I'm Christina, Addicted to my daughter, boyfriend and family! not sure if I am suppose to be here or if this is just God's joke on me but I am glad to be here!" The teacher didn't really know what to say but nod! That's how I do it!!! lol

So today... realizing that life lately has been amazing and somewhat overwhelming. I noticed that I have lost a lot of my laughter that people know me for. I am so wrapped up and "doing busy work" studying the bible, homework and just trying to grasp and capture every moment right now. I truly believe that I thought this amazing time would come to an end soon, this amazing flow of blessings would run out. That's when God grabbed me today and went... "LOOK... I WILL NEVER LEAVE YOU CHRISTINA!"

Well, to really grasp this today. It of course took a huge and embarressing moment to make me realize, life is still funny! I am still Christina... the girl that can laugh at the worst moments, sees the glass always half full and most of all, can laugh at herself! No situation is really as bad as "our" mind would like to make it!

So now your wondering... okay Christina what happened... Let me share!!!

In my job, I have to wear a radio with an ear piece. Well, the radio weights about ton and it pulls my britches down all the time. Now add a long wire to the ear piece, that always gets caught on things and rips my ear off a couple times a day. You now have the start of a funny moment! So here I am in the cafeteria studying the bible about the leadership in Moses. Totally getting caught up in the reading and how crazy it is, that I can relate to Moses. That whole feeling of inadequatcy to what God had planned for Moses. I loose focus on the fact that my radio was caught on the chair. So when I got called off to a procedure, I stood up to the most embarressing situation ever!!!!

I felt my radio falling off my pants and my ear was just ripped off, due to the ear piece. As I grabbed for the radio, my pants had another idea. They fell down to my ankles. Right there in the middle of the lunch hour rush, here stood Christina in her Victoria Secret BRIGHT Pink with lace panties and the radio making a huge bang hitting the floor. As though announcing to the cafeteria... "look here!" WOW... I felt the blood rush to my face and couldn't think of anything else to do but laugh and pull my pants up!

I am just so glad that I am one of those girls, that just has to shave everyday and even happier, that I took my mom's advice to always have nice underwear on. "JUST" in case of an accident!!! This my friends... was "my accident" my mother was always talking about... bet she didn't see this one coming! lol ONLY ME!!!

I am also very glad that God made me the way He did! I love my special "Christina" moments!
