Ever have one of those days that, at first glance, looks like it may pan out to be disastrous? And then, miraculously, the doomed day becomes bright and encouraging?
That was yesterday. I was prepared for it ~ I blogged and waited. Funny thing about blogging; lots of people think you are referring to them when you discuss any nameless entities. I actually get that a lot. Chances are, my blogs aren’t about you unless I name you directly. Otherwise, they’re abstract. That’s my story and I’m stickin’ to it.
Anyway, it had the makings of a cruddy day except for one little intangible component. I was relentless in my focus to stay on the right track all day, despite setbacks and despite distractions. My discovery was that I’m only responsible for ME. Yes, I know that this is a discovery made relatively late in the game but I tend to worry far too much about what’s going on around me and then find myself, repeatedly, getting sucked in. Bad tactic.
New tactic worked flawlessly. God wanted me to speak the truth in love all day, without fail, and I think I did. I stayed the course and was blessed.
My potentially crummy day ended on a high note ~ peace has no price tag. I will not be dragged down but I will begin to raise others up! God bless, friends!
