Tomorrow echos the choices of today. Our choices tend to form some of the change which occurs all around us. Then again, sometimes those very same choices may have nothing to do with our tomorrow at all. Regardless, change is inevitable in our lives. Just like the summer which is slowly drawing to a close, and my kids' smiles turning to frowns as they contemplate the thought of returning to school.
I thought about change, uncertainty, and so many other emotions today as I said goodbye to my parents so they could catch their flight home. We never quite know how we are going to feel, or what unexpected turn life will take. Case in point- I attended training last year for my job involving defense tactics, or simply put, the art of physically defending yourself effectively. One of the instructors probably didn't wake up that morning knowing that he would receive a hard shot to the junk, but all the same, it still happened!
I see so many people from day to day who lack the skills to cope with life and all of its twists and turns. You may think these are probably dead beats, the homeless, or even hopeless drug and alcohol addicts. You would be right, and also wrong. How many of you read on the internet and watched the news about the recent Ebola outbreak? I bet that got some worry flowing and some hearts pumping. I am not going act like it didn't phase me, however, one of my biggest fears was when Hostess went out of business! I wasn't going to see any more of the Hostess fruit pies which my belt line had come to cherish. I had to take a breather after that calamity! Everyday I come to learn that life is going to happen. Sometimes I miss the mark in where my trust lies, and sometimes I am spot on. One thing I know for certain is that God uses my worry and distrust as a lesson. I am one of those individuals who grows up and learns by mistakes. I pray that tomorrow I will place my trust in Him. Tomorrow echos the choices of today...
