"It was a crazy morning!"
I have had many crazy mornings. Some turn out well and others...well...
All puns and joking aside it is not how you start but how you finish that matters. You may get out of the gate and stumble but in the end with the race. A day may seem crazy or start bad but you can finish well.
It takes a few factors to finish well. First is the attitude factor. You choose how you view and respond to your circumstances. If life is crazy you can have a range of emotions. Some choose anger and blow up on people. Some choose sadness and remove themselves from the situation. Some choose joy and laugh. Others choose focus, resolve and attack the situation with determination to overcome. All these emotions have a time and a place but remember we are trying to end well. Choose to walk in the Spirit and the right fruit will be produced.
The second factor it takes to finish well is faith. Even crazy mornings can work out to a great day. The proof of that is in how my crazy morning ended with productive meetings, children taken care of and loved, conversations had that were necessary, and God moving mightily! I had to choose to push through in faith and live with it in mind that a crazy morning didn't mean a crazy day. It did however mean that I was faith focused and was believing God for a great day that ended well.
The final factor is the God factor. We believe in a God who makes all things work together for our good. He is working behind the scenes for good things on our behalf. He will make it turn out right. We have to trust Him and follow His lead. He has the final say because He is not only the Author but also the Finisher of our faith.
How can we choose the right attitude for a crazy situation? Which of these factors do you utilize the most or least?
