Unfortunately, I suppose, if there were ever an adjective to describe me, needy would be (at least) one. I often find myself being "that person" who is asking several questions or needing assistance with something. Today I've decided to blame it on my large desire to cling to childhood. At any rate, at times I find that this needy trait of mine could be annoying.
It's really funny that I'm as needy as I am. Im actually quite independent (on most...eh... some things). I took Ag most of my high school career. Y'all I can weld, ok once upon a time I could, but I can for sure check my oil, clean my battery cables, use a hammer, tell you if your safety glasses are OSHA approved, and use Google. I have a some dirt road tricks. Get it? Like street tricks, street smart? Dirt road? Ok, anywho. Daddy always taught me to be independent. All of the above is sort of humorous now. If there is a task I can ask yellow car boy to come to rescue with, I ask. Actually, half the time, I haven't asked, and he's already on his way to save the day. There are many things I can't reach, but due to his vertical strength, he's quite handy in tall situations. There are many things I can't open, and there are many things that I do open that look like a ravaging bear got into them. Yellow car boy is a phenomenal opener- phenomenal. I stink at it. My brain is like a browser window with 2,813 tabs opened at once, and yellow car boy, well he's focused. Me? Not so much. I have those 2,813 things on my brain, and I often go into pni. Miss wondering how I could possibly accomplish it all. Yellow car boy, in all his valor, swoops in and saves the day by being my logic, memory, and common sense and makes all things calm in the raging, unnecessary sea of chaos. Yellow car boy is incredibly thoughtful and great at remembering my mouth guard. Ok so sometimes I remember it, but I'm too tired to get up, but if I forget/have a moment of laziness, he remembers and prevents a night of me grinding my teeth to the point of needing dentures. He's also great at surprises and being thoughtful. My fresh flower supply is bountiful and I have a classroom of third graders that love him near as much as I do because they even just know how spectacular he is. I never knew I could need someone like I need him. Tonight, I heard the song "Lord, I Need You", and I became overwhelmed thinking about that beautiful love of Christ. I NEED Him. Without Him, I cannot imagine making it through a day! I would be a sinner without a Savior if it were not for His amazing grace. I also couldn't help but think of the picture of Christ's love He gives us in marriage. If ever there was a man that loves his wife as Christ loved the church, I see it in yellow car boy. I'm so thankful he lets me need him. I'm so thankful he loves me through my neediest days. I'm so, so thankful for him. But even more, I'm eternally grateful for the love of my Savior Who lets need Him every second of every day and cares for every need of every human being that has, is, and will walk this earth. Praise the Lord for His unconditional love and those He allows us to share our walk on this earth with.
