Gandalf'd

I'm usually a morning person.
But my mornings consist of walking up at 7:30, making coffee, reading my bible, journaling all whilst under the covers of my bed. 
Except on street sweeping day. 

This morning I woke up with a loud BANG BANG on my bedroom door.
"LEX!! LEX!! ITS STREET SWEEPING DAY!!! LLLLLLEEEEEEXXXXXXXXXXXX!" from Kaegan. 

In blurry confusion I immediately ran outside to move my car. 
I gazed upon the beast as he swept down my street with a jolt of 4 miles per hour on that puppy. 
He was fast approaching. I knew what I had to do.

And thats where I Gandalf'd him: 
"Youuuuu shallll not SWEEEEEEEEEPPP!" 
from the other side of my street. 

He barely even noticed but I hopped in and drove off, parked and was content. I walked back home and gave a thumbs up to the parking guy trailing him. 
For today. Citation boy, Sweeper Man and Gandalf herself knew today was the day
I was not getting a ticket. Today. I won. 

And was reminded that sometimes, in the midst of all things that are good, like easy mornings, you'll get an awakening that puts you out of your good mood. 
And you just gotta embrace that sucker. You will meet your beast. 
And usually Jesus will come pounding on your heart like "WAKE UP. I LOVE YOU. Go get em, wild girl! " 
And with him, you always win.
