She needed to spend time with a friend.
Her life was running at a low ebb. It was just one of those times when so many negative events came one on top of the other. She hated her new boss. She was so domineering; telling her how to do the job she had been doing perfectly well for almost three years. Then there was the issue of her worthless boyfriend cheating on her, and to make matters worse she was getting behind with the rent.
The final straw came a couple of days ago when she could no longer stop off at her favourite café.
The new spotty-faced barista was such a jerk, she just couldn’t take his super macho arrogance any more. He would leer at her and make remarks that made her feel really uncomfortable. ‘Spotty’ thought he was being clever but he wasn’t.
He lost a customer.
Right now she was on her way to catch up with her friend to pour out all her troubles in a different coffee bar in town. Her friend had suggested it. It sounded like a good alternative. It was an extra couple of blocks away but it would no doubt be fine.
As she entered she could see her friend laughing happily across the table at someone who had their back to her.
Laughter was good. She really needed some laughter in her life at this point.
She was approaching the pair when she stopped suddenly, turned around and left without saying a word.
As she made her way home she couldn’t help wondering what she had done to cause the Almighty to take such a dislike to her.
How could He allow the man with her friend to be ‘Spotty’!
