So when things get tough in my life, the reality is that I become mopey. Yep. Real nice witness to others, huh? If you read this blog often, you see how I have been tired a lot lately. Yes....the things of this crazy world are getting me down....and yes....my attitude sucks. (Ew...I really hate that word!)
So when sucky times occur, I like to mope about and feel sorry for myself and eat more than I should and feel guilty for my attitude. Yeh....that really helps a lot!
TODAY.
Honestly, it was hell. Crazy busy at work brought out crazy dramas to deal with. Annoying ants in the house. Messes in the basement from neighbor kids. Nothing feels right these days. DAMN: Drama, Ants, Messes, Nothing!
Thank goodness we can't always go on feelings! Even after a DAMN hard day of life, TODAY goes on and I have to figure out how to deal with all the feelings so the day itself isn't a waste.
TODAY.
After work, I heard myself singing worship in the car on the way home and taking time to play and laugh with my kids. Talking to my wife about the DAMN crappy day is always helpful. Most of all, praying to God Who takes my mopey feelings and helps me adjust my attitude!
Yeh.....He's pretty good at the attitude adjustment thing. As long as I keep moving through this life, looking down and around and trying to feel my way through the messes....welp, things rarely work for the best.
It's only when I stop with this DAMN life and look UP and try to understand things from His perspective that I see what matters: the HIM in my life that is working amidst the drama, the ants, the messes, and the nothing. He saves me from it all, and He reminds me of His love through all of it.
Change makes me tired.
It takes time to process and requires patience to move forward.
It brings out the best in people....and the worst in people.
Sometimes it's drastic and sometimes it's dramatic.
Either way it consumes precious time.
On the other hand:
It slows me down/picks up the pace and requires perseverance to see it through.
It challenges me to choose optimism.....or be a negative nelly.
Sometimes when drastic, it's a wake-up call.
Sometimes its drama helps me become a better person/professional.
Either way it consumes me and makes me tired.
A good tired, of course; for at what seems like the end, I can look back and see the reasons behind it, the reality of it, and the renewed passions because of it.
