The Spider

Next to my bed only a few inches away from my head I just encountered a Monster Spider- HUUUGE. Far too big and frightening to be ignored as I learned to do it with smaller ones, which still freak me out considerably .

My options:

• sleeping on the couch for the coming weeks, until I could be sure it would have died of old age
• waking up my brother or dad making them search and eliminate the monster under my bed
• or do it myself

Though I discovered soon that the spider is not only huge, even too big to be caught in a glass, without cutting of its legs, but also super fast and really really scary looking, I decided to not give up.

Right before the encounter, I had read a few things about pursuing goals and not giving up, so this seemed to me my first task of putting my new gained aim for persistence into praxis.

More and more furniture I carried out of the room, just to see the Spider run behind the next pillow, cupboard or box. I decided to keep going, still not knowing how I would be able to kill the beast, when I would finally face her in an empty room.

But then happened what I call "God's Hand". Eventually it was also the light cupboard's turn to be pulled out of the room. After having pulled out the cupboard, going back into the room to continue my mission I noticed several black dots all over the carpet - Spider-body-pieces. I collected them with a tissue and thanked God for killing the monster. He used me pulling out the cupboard, though I wonder why the super fast spider had not been able to escape the threat.

I take this as lesson from God, 
He wants me to pursue even the seemingly impossible, to not give up, because he is going to do the Job in the end.
