We are sometimes a creature of habit, doing things in the same way, at the same time and any deviation is going to create havoc. Other times we are "on call" with no guarantee that we will ever be called, or we may be called continually so that we run around in a state of confusion and panic. And then, there are the times when there is nothing pending, no schedule, no idea of what is coming, if it is coming or if it does, when that might be. Time can either drag, stand still or go by in a flash.
What it means in real life is that we have to be flexible. We have to be able to adapt and adjust depending on what we have signed up to do, how many other people are involved and innumerable other factors, conditions and possibilities. Life is not always predictable, programmed or"chiseled in stone". Decisions have to be made, sometimes quickly and with limited information and sometimes it means we step on toes, react without thinking and cause hurt feelings, or we get it right and there are good feelings and happy endings.
Hang in there everyone. Take a deep breath, do the best you can and know there is a bigger plan for us and one day it will be made known to us. And above all.......Thank You, Lord for everything.

How very true and how much I relate!
ReplyDelete* Being "on call" (as we were today and Dorothy for the next 3 or 4 weeks)...
* Nothing pending, no schedule (hmmmmm, sometimes but not soon)...
* Flexibility and sometimes quick decisions with limited information (for me, flexibility is hard and quick decisions even harder)...
* A bigger plan, one day, to be made known...YES!
