Popcorn Philosophy

My name is Melody Kraus, and I am a popcorn-aholic; More specifically, the kettle corn flavor, because a girl needs a little sugar in with her afternoon snack! Some days I just push the 'popcorn' button on my microwave and trust in the power of GE to produce my bag of yummy. Other days, when my controlling nature gets the best of me, I stand in front of the microwave counting pops, and trying to manually decide the best time to extract my bag of popcorn hoping to achieve maximum poppage - the goal being no kernels left. The struggle with this plan is that there is a very fine line between maximum poppage, and burned up nasty popcorn. The moral of my story is that my control issues = a smelly house/office and a hungry tummy. Just as I know that GE's plan is better than my own, I also know that God's plan for my life is better than my own. But unfortunately, I often choose not to trust in God's timing, and rather trust in my own - with the same general success that I see from my popcorn debacles. And so, as I sit in front of my computer with the distinctive aroma of burned pop-secret floating thru the air, I once again commit to trust in God's plan for me. Surely God is better at this timing thing than I am!
