Complete

Earlier this week I blogged about Monday that I was having.  Nothing seemed to be working, and I finished the day with most of the projects that I had started still incomplete. 

Today I have a new story. 

Today I’m crushing it. 

I’m like a ninja. 

I’ve got the office work thing going, I got to connect with some students at lunch, and I got to plan ahead for some things coming this summer.  Today I am having the opposite experience of my Monday. 

The weird thing is that I don’t exactly know how to feel about this.  Stressed; I got that one.  Worried; yeah, I know how to do that too.  But relaxed, that’s not a feeling I don’t get at work all that often.  Honestly, I don’t really know what to do with myself today.

I think we live our lives like this a lot of the time.  We know how to turn to God when things don’t go well, when we are in trouble.  What we don’t always know how to turn to God when He chooses to bless us.  Maybe we give Him a quick “thank You,” but usually we are off and on our way with very little thought about Him.  We get hyper-focused on the painful times to the detriment of anything else.  We miss out on the blessings because we are always waiting for the other shoe to drop.  I said on Monday that I wanted to embrace my incompleteness.  Today I want to embrace my “blessedness” by being filled with praise and thanksgiving for all that God has done for me.
