Handling the curve balls

One of my favorite sayings in business is “every day is Plan B.”  No matter how well you plan.  Life is going to throw TONS of curve balls at you.

Last night my friend Janice and I watched “The Next Food Network Star.”  The episode featured the contestants cooking a dish live on television.  What they didn’t know was that each session was sabatoged intentionally.

It was great to see how each contestant handled he unexpected.  My favorite contestant was booted off because she responded viciously when things didn’t go well.  Been there…done that.

Being loving and godly is easy when things are going smooth.  How do we handle the rest of life?  Will I turn into psycho chick when something unfair happens to me?

Today has been full of insanity.  Jury duty the week before I lead a Walk to Emmaus (no I am not excused).  I also had to do damage control to smooth out the rough edges in a situation that was not my fault.  That’s life.

Three years ago I would have been a nervous wreck after a day like today.  Resting in your arms, Lord, gives me the ability to chuckle at the insanity that is sometimes life.

True character is revealed in the bad times, not the good ones.  This is your life…are you who you wanna be? (yep, I love Switchfoot).

God Bless
