Ok so it has been a pretty long time since I did anything on here...sorry bout that.
So there other day I introduced two of my friends, my cell phone and water. Needless to say they made a fast connection but it left my phone worse off then it was before. It is just a relationship that doesn't work out it hurts everyone involved.
Alright on to my real point. In trying to do cell phone cpr I went out and bought a small bag of rice (we didn't have any at the house) pulled the battery let it sit for a day tried to get it to dry out and hopefully work again. During this whole process I realized a couple of things that make me laugh now. On the days the phone was unresponsive, didn't want to turn on or anything I was really bummed and kind of upset (I lost all my numbers). Yet on the days that the phone wanted to turn on and do thing I was super happy and hopeful that it would make a full recovery.
Did you catch that word in there? Hope. The days that I believed that my phone had hope of working correctly for me I was lighthearted, happy and didn't let much get to me. The days I was without hope for my phone I was sad and irritated and disliked the hand me down phone that I am currently using.
This made me think about other things in my life and how I react to them. Relationships? When I am hopeful and see possibilities I am happy and nothing can touch me, but when I think things are hopeless....I act like they are. I was recently looking for a job, the days that I was hopeful and saw opportunity I was awesome and had a smile on my face, but the days I saw no hope I was a very pessimistic person.
Crazy idea huh? I know it really isn't and that when you sit and think about it that it is easy to see, but in the moments that it is happening it can be hard to realize.
All of this reminded me of a Bible verse, 1 Corinthians 13:13
"And now these three remain: faith, hope and love. But the greatest of these is love."
Think through all this it is obvious that those three things work with each other and having all three makes you take a different perspective on life. A positive one where things don't get you down the same way and you smile at least a little more then you used to.
