The other day I went to the dermatologist to have a bump (Bessie) removed from my leg, nothing serious, just standard "rare and uncommon" stuff being my norm. I walk in (mid november) in my shorts and flip flops and right away doc is alarmed at the site of what is going down with my foot. An allergic reaction to the RED ink in my tattoo. She then has to give me 7 medicated shots to reduce the swelling from the ink and prescribe medical creme which I will have to apply for the next 2 weeks. I looked it up online later on (b/c google is my worst enemy) and it says "Allergic reactions are very uncommon." Yup that's right.... UNCOMMON! A friend of mine (the week prior to this when my tire blew out) said "wow, Kat, you just can't catch a break!" To the "normal" person that may be true but.... its kind of funny how things happen. Having an UNCOMMON allergic reaction to my tattoo reminded me of why I got it in the first place. It's a fireweed flower.... a flower that only grows in harsh conditions, you know like after a volcano erupts or something crazy like that.
All throughout my life there have been these moments, some funny, some crazy, and some just off the charts but all impacting. Moments where there had to be someone working on my side to make a difference and to get me where I am now (pg 23s). Times where I knew there had to be something more to this life then the craziness in front of me.
Moments have changed the events of my life, short snipits of time have forever impacted my world and its all because HIS plan was always the better plan.... so glad I turn over the blueprints and let HIM plan it out. Its been a wild ride and I am looking forward to more rare and uncommon moments becoming the norm!
