This morning this phase kept repeating itself in my mind, “disruptions are normal, a life without disruptions is not.” I knew that I’d read this yesterday, but I couldn’t remember where and I couldn’t remember the whole quote.
Well, the words were floating around in my mind driving me crazy so I backtracked everything I’d read yesterday until I finally figured out who said this. (I’m amazed that I actually found it considering the little bits of this and that that I read yesterday.) I don’t have the quote right, but the idea is the same. You can read the whole thing here. Susan Wise Bauer talks about how sickness (disruption) is a normal part of life and how we tend to view it as something out of the norm and she questions whether we should view our “normal” days as not the norm. 
I wonder why we think disruptions are not the norm? Life is certainly full of them and they usually come right on the wing of our getting our life “in order”. HA! LOL.
Guess that shows us Who is really in control!
Maybe if we viewed our disrupted days as the norm we would appreciate our “normal” days more.
Just a some crazy thinking from my very disrupted mind. I’m ready for a little “normal”. LOL. Guess I need a paradigm shift.
Lord, change the way I think. |
