My day went so fast I hardly know what happened. I woke up, got dress, and went to work. It all was a blur from that point. I got in at 7:45 am and the next thing I knew, it was 4:30 pm. It sped by, like a race car on crack (that mental picture made me laugh). Days like this use to fluster and throw me out of sorts. Yet I have to say today I wasn’t flustered, I was prepared. It interesting how different my mind set has become. I don’t know how to explain it, except to say that I am a lot less phased by the unexpected. I realize now that on the journey no matter how prepared I am flash flood will come, and I will be wading through water to get to my destination. It’s okay though, because I have rain gear. Today when the rains of “busyness” and “now, now, now” fell I just put on my rain hat, held up my umbrella and carried on. No matter what the storms of life may bring, carry on. Today God reminded that as I continue to “go” and “do” there will be storms, fires, and floods, but I can rest because I know the calmer of storms, and the putter outer of fires. His got me covered.
“Then you’ll get where you’re going; then you’ll succeed. Haven’t I commanded you? Strength! Courage! Don’t be timid; don’t get discouraged. God, your God, is with you every step you take” (Joshua 1:8-9, The Message Bible).
So what was my plan of attack for today? Go! God got me covered.
Thanks. When I have those chaotic days and situations that are unexpected I will remember I have my rain gear on.
