Faith in the Void...
Jun. 29th, 2002 01:30 amWe were invited to Bingo Thursday night, but it wasn't over until 1 a.m, and J's gotta work. So we didn't go...but tonight we each got our very own daubers (mine was an awesome blue), bought some cards, and played Bingo. It was all for local charity, so I even feel good about doing it. I know - this isn't my typical activity. I felt really weird, but it was FUN. :) Some of the people we LARP with work there, so we had people to talk to, too.
Yesterday She was whispering "You can't win if you don't go..."; the goddess gnattering at me about putting my trust in my faith and going out on a limb. So I spent my remaining pocket money on my cards, and ventured forth. You have to invest in the Flow, take a risk on the limb of the shadow-tree, and step off into the darkness every once in a while...I figured it was time.
I got frustrated in the last 3 games. The numbers started to blur together. I couldn't stamp the numbers straight anymore. I wasn't getting anywhere near winning, or worse, I was and then losing by like 2 numbers. Ask anyone who knows me; I'm a terrible loser.
But I still had fun; I was talking to the cards, sending telepathic messages to the thoroughly NOT magickal caller, and generally making myself look and sound like a crazy bingo lady. I even got ink on my hands and face; a sure sign I'm having too much fun.
Anyway...the very last game came. It was HARD, too - they call it the picnic table, and you need a weird formation in the numbers to win. Well, it started getting close; I needed two more numbers. So did Jeff. One of them was the same; it was called. It was down to one number...and it got called!!
I won $200 at Bingo!!
A nice surprise! All for having faith in my intuition, faith in my Lady, and faith that the universe would bring fortune my way. This money will help us eat and pay a bill this month - woo!! It's much needed and very appreciated.
Thank you, Spirit.
