when life throws fireballs at you, you can

a. scream and faint and die

b. procrastinate and complain about the fire and die

c. whack them, kick them, fan them, spit on them with all your might.. and still die

d. fire fight it with God's fire hose and supportive people

i always thought that i never had plans for my future, but unconsciously i do. and when life doesn't go as planned, i realise that 1) i actually had a plan, 2) now i need a new plan. of course there'll be the crying sobbing sniffing at the beginning until i realise that it's not the end of the world and there's many things that i should still give thanks for and rejoice over.

for a moment i felt like Job from the bible; having things "taken away" from me.. (i soon figured that he had it much much much much harder than me). life wasnt meant to be a walk in the park.. it's the challenges that make it exciting and give us opportunities to come to know that we are nothing without God. When life seems difficult, give thanks and rejoice!
