Funky?

Have you ever been funky? Just because you're, well,,, funky? I'm going to bet the answer is yes only because I know that if you're actually reading this, you're female, and well, we females get funky. I'm funky today. What exactly is funky, anyway? I think it's a mixture of grouchy + irritable + a little blue. It's not the greatest feeling in the world, but not the worst either. Just a mood. Know what I mean? Well, something new dawned on me this morning on my way to work - but first I have a confession to make. I slept in a little too much this morning and missed my regular time with Jesus. Why? Because I woke up funky. I didn't want to go spend my regular time with Him because I knew that I would have to 'straighten up,' you know - shake of the funkiness. At least I thought I would. So, back to what dawned on me on my way to work. I was listening to the radio and I heard the song "You never let go" and it hit me. I don't have to 'straighten up' to spend time with Jesus. He invites me to come just as I am, funky and all. And here's the kicker - all I really needed to do this morning was to curl up at His feet and just be with Him. I missed a great opportunity to have my funkiness tended to by the only One who is able to - without making me funkier. (Surely some of you know exactly what I'm talking about. Seems when other people try to bring me out of my funkiness, I tend to get funkier.!?)
I did get some time in the Word this morning and I am pleased to report the funk is beginning to lift a bit.
I hope all of you are having a funk-free day, but if you're not - I can only think of One who doesn't mind it. He actually still wants to be with you. Wow. There is no One like Jesus.
