Day 35: Autocorrected.

Hello there readers.
I've been getting really lazy about posting, but I feel like I say the same thing in every post. I've been praying that God would show me something that I could write about, and He did. Though not exactly in the way I was expecting...

Every few days on facebook, somebody posts a picture of a text message where they tried to type one thing, but autocorrect changed it to something that made no sense. Well today that happened to me, except in my case it made perfect sense. I don't actually have autocorrect, because that would entail that I have a phone that isn't a piece of junk (I have a gophone that I purchased at WalMart. Fancy, I know). However, my phone has a setting called T9 where you press each letter once to make a word, then choose from all of the possible words you may have typed. I had just gotten home from a ten hour day at work, I was being a brat and feeling sorry for myself when I got a text from my husband. He asked me how I was doing. With other people I would lie and say I was fine, but with him he's gonna figure it out whether I tell him the truth or not. So I typed "I'm bummed." Except it didn't say "bummed". My phone had changed it to "atoned".

I'm atoned. I had never actually said those words before, but what a beautiful thought. The definition of atonement is "satisfaction or reparation for a wrong or injury; amends". How many times have I wronged my Savior? More times than I could ever recall, yet I am atoned. He has made amends through Jesus Christ so I don't have to suffer what I deserve. How great is my God that He can use a fifteen dollar phone to change my attitude in three seconds? I am in awe.

I would like to thank everyone who told me that they have been praying for me, you have no idea how much it means. May many treasures be stored up for you in heaven!
