Sitting Down With God

                    Life doesn’t always go the way you plan.   More often than not, it will go the complete opposite.   I have come to the realization that in those first few minutes of disappointment, I have opportunity for change.             I think back on all the times I would get angry and upset because I didn’t get my way.   The temper tantrums and the attitudes of entitlement I have had.   How do I know why things have changed?   That last minute change in direction for your day could save your life.           God’s plan for us will always outweigh any plans we could ever imagine for ourselves. I encourage you in those moments when life’s little disappointments are getting you down, for you to look up and be patient.   Change is coming! and it starts with...

          Lights, camera, action!   You are the up and coming star in a new reality TV show.   Cameras will be on you 24/7 from here on out.   You are required by contract to be 100% yourself for the next year.   You have to talk, dress, and interact with others just like you would if there was no camera crew following you around.             Now, reality is that the chances of one of us being on a reality TV show is small, but think about it really hard.   What kind of person would you show the world if you had a camera following you around all the time?             I was walking into work tonight and this question presented itself to me.   I feel that as a Christian I would like to think that I would show good qualities to the world, but the truth is none of us are perfect.   However, I feel like this was a ...
