With Confidence.

Today was frustrating.  I have decided not to included any facts about my job on this blog, I'm not stupid... I know better than that.  Let's just say it was a long day! 

 

Some days I just need to remember that what is happening now won't last forever.  There is so much in life that seems completely overwhelming, but I truly believe that it is essential to realize that this HUGE crisis occurring momentarily may seem minuscule in the grander scheme of things.  

But it will still no doubt stress us out until we feel completely out of control and like we could pull every single follicle of hair from our scalps and not feel one ounce of pain considering this trial we are currently in the midst of.  So what is the next step? What can we do to maintain sanity? 

Well the answer is simple.

Nothing.

We have absolutely no control over what is happening. Our destiny is predetermined.  God knows the next thought in your head before you even think.  He has written this difficult chapter in your life for a reason and wouldn't allow you this hardship if it would not ultimately bring Glory back to Him.  He wrote this story, He wrote the beginning of your life and He has already written the ending.    

Think about it like this. 

 When a screen writer is formulating the script, he already knows the plot, he know exactly how the movie will begin, what the climatic scene should be, who the protagonist will be, and how the story will end.  Well, God is the screen writer. He knows already.  He knows if you will end up with the guy you think your in love with, if you will land your dream job, if you will travel the world, if you will have the perfect house with the white picot fence.  Your story has been written. 

Worrying and getting angry over your circumstances is like going to the movies and worrying about how you are going to change the end of the movie.  And let's face it, that is just plain silly.  

Romeo and Juliet both die. 

Frodo destroys the ring.

Cinderella gets the Prince.

Harry Potter defeats "He who should not be named."

Dorothy gets to go home to Kansas. 

Should I keep going? or do you get the picture?

The screen play of your life has been written and your the star. Now is just time to sit back and enjoy the show.  Every great movie must have a vilan or two, a tale of heartbreak that results in finding true love, some adventure, or some suspense.  If not for these, what a bore. 

Today is only one scene in your movie.  One small part of the overall story. 

So let's just go with it.

Be confident in the screen writer, I mean it is His job, right?

Start Each Day with Confidence.
