I've been reading a great book. A book with an emphasis on controlling my thoughts and renewing my mind.
It is deep. There is so much that I am trying to comprehend. I want to grasp the concept. I want to apply this way of thinking to my life.
How do you react?
This morning was rough. I worked all evening last night securing this mornings plans. Everything was falling into place great. And then we got a winter storm and I had no idea what was happening. All of last nights plans were null and void.
Usually I am very matter of fact when other people's plans change. But when my plans change, I feel like I shut down and freeze. I try to see clarity beyond the storm. I try to focus in the storm (note, IN, not on).
When I began thinking too many negative things, I began to shut down. I was overwhelmed. I wanted to pull over and cry.
I turned to God. In those moments I really have no idea how to handle them. But I began to pray. "Lord, I can't do this on my own. I need You." and the little in my back seat was repeating everything I was saying.
I am an example whether I want to be or not.
Guide me, Lord.
