Kate Butt here.
I'm pretty sure things never work out the way we want them to. Not like, huge things. But little things in our everyday life. It always seems like when I need to get to class on time. I get there late. No matter how early I wake up. I will get stuck behind some OLD woman, or just a stupid driver who actually obeys the speed limit- who does that anymore?? It seems like, whenever, I need to get a paper in or something scanned for this LAME online math course, my printer decides to hate me and stop working all together. BOTH of my printers AND my mom's printer. How does that happen?
It's quite frustrating, to be honest. It's the little things that make me so angry and agitated. Unfortunately, that can put a whole new spin on my day. One minute, I'll be having a great day and the next moment that old woman who obeys the law put a bad taste in my mouth for the rest of the day! ( that sounded gross) Why though? Why is my printer or being late to class a legitimate reason to be pissed off for the rest of the day? The truth is, it isn't. We often focus too much on the little things in life and forgo the big things. We are in a constant state of looking at the negatives, when there are so many fantastic things that God is doing in our lives.
I encourage you to take a step back today and think about all the phenomenal things God has done in your life. It'll brighten your day up.
