On my way to the gym this afternoon an ambulance was coming toward us. In typical fashion, I pulled over to the left to make way. I don’t know why I did this because it’s not like he was behind me. But, for some reason I kept imagining the driver losing control and slamming into me. Silly thoughts, I know.
I get to the gym and we give the girl our membership number. People are huddled by the stairs, talking crying, one lady has her hand over her mouth. I didn’t understand what was going on until later. I went to drop Fiona off at the play room and thought nothing of it.
In the ladies locker room, throwing my stuff in a locker, I overheard a lady on the phone explaining how something horrible had happened. Yes, I was listening to her conversation. It was hard not to since she was sitting on the bench near the locker where I threw my stuff. I remembered to write my locker number down on my hand because my memory sucks when I don’t go to the gym on a more regular basis.
I got out, grab some water and asked somebody if everything was alright. They told me everything was great. Yeah, whatever. That’s why everybody was standing around crying and talking about it. I do get the fact that they have to be courteous and provide quality customer service, but come on.. we can all see that something happened.
I guess a man collapsed at the gym, turned blue, and died. How horrible. Nobody could help him. He just turned blue and rose to meet his maker in the sky. One minute he was working out and the next minute he was gone. I wonder if he had a relationship with Jesus. I began to close my eyes and pray for everybody that loved this man, his friends, his family, and the people at the gym that talked to him every day.
The situation got me wondering about what God’s plan is for me. I already know what part of his plan is for me, I just want to know about the rest. I’m a pretty patient person. I can wait to see what he has in store for me. I seriously need to read more of my bible. Oh and I’m not going to report my weight until I’m below 170lbs. That’s just the way it has to be.. for now.
