Learning To Embrace The Crazy

Have you ever had a bad day? Not just any bad day, but the kind that could be turned into a movie? 

It might have gone something like this: after waking up late because your alarm didn’t go off, you didn’t have time to eat breakfast. So, you make your favorite quick breakfast drink. On your way to work you spilled your drink while checking your email & walking down the hallway. 

Then, you have a meeting but didn’t have time to go home & change. So, while attending the meeting you try to send a quick text to someone to bring you a change of clothes fast, because you need to present at another meeting. But your friend can’t help ya out. So, you head to the ladies room to clean up. 

As you try to clean up, you end up getting little bits of paper towel all over yourself & it looks much worse. That’s not all, though. You decide that since your outfit is at it’s worst, you could at least freshen up your makeup. As you get the makeup from your purse, the unthinkable happens—your mascara wand was way too full, it goes everywhere. You’re a mess 5 minutes before your presentation.

I could go on, but I think you get the picture.

The whole point in all of this is to show that we all have bad days. Days that could probably be turned into the next big hit movie where everything goes crazy and in the end all is well & the star ends up following their dreams & gets their happily ever after. 

However, in reality, that’s not the case. We have bad days, yes, but they don’t usually get big screen attention. Learning to embrace the crazy is a process. One that’s easier for some than others. Regardless how many days like this it takes for us to learn to do so, it’s worth it because it reminds us that ultimately, no matter how much we try to be in charge of our plans, things can change & that’s real life. :)

It reminds me of this verse: 

Proverbs 19:21 

New International Version

21 Many are the plans in a person’s heart,

    but it is the Lord’s purpose that prevails.
