no problem, God.

i should preface this by warning that my attitude in this post is purely satirical.  i totally get that i had nothing to do with this, but it cracks me up, nonetheless.  God works in mysterious ways...

for those of you who don't know, i made a major faux pas during the first month of school by replacing the chocolate milk with white milk.  here i went, thinking i was making one tiny little change on the path to health for my kids, not realizing that i was going to really make some people mad.  the teachers were the first to complain.  the kids were still kind of shy and getting to know me, so they didn't really say anything...they just wasted their milk everyday rather than drinking it.  eventually i decided this wasn't a battle i was ready to fight- at least not in this way- and gave in and ordered chocolate milk.

a dad told me the other day that he and his daughters pray everyday before they get out of the car to come into the building.  on one particular day, his daughter prayed that i would change my mind and order chocolate milk again, "realizing that it was better than no milk at all!"  apparently she was so adamant that even after the prayer was over, she looked up at the sky and said, "do you hear me, God?  i hope you're listening!"

well, timing sure is funny...that very day was the first day i had ordered the chocolate milk.  apparently the girl got in the car that afternoon with a huge grin on her face, beaming with a renewed faith in her loving Lord and savior.

no problem, God.  glad i could help you out on this one :)
