Bad to Better

I was talking with a friend after church today.
He made an interesting comment: "I can conjure up a worst case scenario in my head that is twisted and convoluted and almost impossible to happen and imagine that it is the only possible outcome."

How true! I am just like him. I often find myself fixating on the one least likely outcome of the stituation rather than what is most likely to happen. I lose sleep and worry over what I can not control.

And you are probably just like me and my friend Dave.

Chances are, in the middle of a dark situation, things will get better. Don't get me wrong: sometimes they get worse. But sometimes they get better in ways that we don't expect and weren't looking for.

And my worrying about them and losing sleep hasn't helped one bit.
