blah blah

im sitting here, rather wet and very cold waiting for the shower...
today was our church's baptisms at arena joondalup and it was so great seeing all these new christians making quality decisions.
afterwards was free swimming and i was standing around watching everyone wishing that i had bought my bathers. out of no where rick grabbed me and said that someone should grab my fone cos i was going in - with or without it! aahhhh. yep. i had been targeted for an undeserved dunking in the pool! i didnt believe him until i started getting pushed closer to the edge! someone took my fone and in i went. i thought it was hilarious...somehow. i guess because i had just been standing there thinking "i wish i was in there"...hhmmm wot do they say, "be careful wot u wish for"? lol.
the water was nice and it was good for a laugh so it didnt bother me. eventually i got out and started to round up the girls that i was driving home. then rob called out to me and said "hey carrie, thanks for being such a good sport, others would have been so dark about that"
i just laughed. but i mean i didnt really think about it til he said that. to me it wasnt an issue. it was funny and its not like rick was rough or was doing it to be mean. they were just being boys.
but it then made me think of an earlier incident when one of the boys did a bombie and water splashed all over another guy and he chucked the biggest hissy-fit over it and stormed off.
and then it got me thinking, about how tiny little incidents like this really do hav a way of showing true colours! maybe even these are little tests from god to see how we handle small seemingly insignificant happenings. cos realistically, its the smaller things in life that people remember. and people remember how u react to what happens to u.
ive totally gone off on a tangent and im not saying this to say "oh im so great becos i didnt chuck a sad" it just made me see, how small things like this have a tendency to bring out the best or the worst in people!
