What happens when the unusual happens?
Gloomy Sunday Morning
As I drove out to church this morning, the sun was not shining. That was unusual, as the sun shines the brightest on most Sundays here.
As we approached church, a thought popped into my head: It is easy to go to church on a bright Sunday morning, but how about on a cold, gloomy Sunday morning?
The church was not full, and I assume it was because it was a cold Sunday.
Then my thoughts got deeper and expanded further into other areas of life: What happens when what you are used to doesn't happen? Does your life stop? Do you continue on your journey and pursue your why?
Most of us have always known and done things in certain ways. We never take risks, and we stick to what works. I mean, if it works, why change it, why fix it, and why think of possible problems?
Why problem-solve what is not broken? I want you to think of your contingency plan in case of risks. Think of external risks, like today's change in weather, which is not within your control. Would you sleep in on Sunday morning when you should be preparing for church? Would you manage uncertainties effectively when they arise, or would you be caught off guard and miss church?
Today, it is church; tomorrow, it could be work; the day after next, it could be a client meeting.
What would you miss when the weather changes, or would you change your timing and outfit to suit the weather
