I started this day in somewhat of a funk...without being too specific, I saw a friend do something that was somewhat disturbing -- especially given that she isn't just knocking at 30's door, but she has one hand on the knob about ready to walk in the darn door.!! Anywhoo, this friend and I have been friends for a while. We have lots of good times but also some times where we have "fallen out". Either way, I can say that there are no hard feelings toward her; but I sometimes take concern with the fact that some of the things she does almost seems as if we're still our early 20's rather than our mid to late 20's.
I felt like I wanted to say something to her, but I also knew that it really wasn't my place. So, I instead called another friend and vented my frustrations. My friend calmy asked me why was I surprised... I then told her that I honestly thought that this person would've matured by now and how I just couldn't understand it why she was still doing crap as if she was only 21!!!
Well, right after the conversation between my friend and I, I opened up an email that another friend sent. It was a daily devotional that talked about how two men were walking down the street talking. However, the men were so busy bumping their gums to realize that Jesus was also walking with them!!
Now from the outside looking in, one would probably say with confidence and their chest poked out "I would've known Jesus if he was walking with me!!!" But, would you really??? For me personally, I can't think of how many times I've gotten myself so worked up over trivial things that the things that are most important often get neglected!
Needless to say, I'm thankful for my lesson for the day because it served as a glaring reminder that I've got to do better...while I was busy thinking about how silly, messy, inmature this person was, I could've or SHOULD'VE been busying myself with was can be done in my OWN life. Either way, I don't know if this thought helped anyone but it definitely helped me! Happy Wednesday :)

I think we all get caught up in the moment no matter how small it is and forget about the most important things that we overlook daily.
On another note. When I looked at the picture I felt that there was some childish ness involved, that the posting of this photo was on purpose. She will get hers in the end.
