Have you ever found yourself caught up in the home shopping network like I have? Mind you I've never actually shopped from it, however when I surf past, I can get draw into the drama.
One time my son Gabe and I sat on the couch with our mouths dangling open as the drool rolled down our chins, simply caught up in the hype. It's a mystery why I'd be drawn to something so mindless and yet I get lured into the theatrics.
Have you ever found yourself caught up in a situation, or relationship that really only feeds a sick need for the theatrical, a diversion from life as usual or simply a dang time waster when you're short on vision?
Over the last several months, I have been challenged with the use of my life, the only one I have. This means instead of continuing to mindlessly ponder the areas of life that I am drooling through, I have been challenged to change them. I don't get the luxury of sitting around anymore thinking, maybe someday I'll find my connection.I have to take responsibility for finding my connection now.
I don't get to feel drained or torn down anymore in a relationships when I have the power to choose what kind of people I want to spend my time with, edifying or depleting. I can't blame my lack of exercise or intake of "bad food" on anything other than myself.
Simply put, I get the option to take responsibility for my life and heed Mary J. Blige's advice for, "No more drama" if I want to. I'm thankful that when I get stuck on pause the Lord kindly resets the play button, because while we're hanging out on pause, time keeps racing by.
