Ready for Anything

In life we must be ready for anything. I was sitting mentally preparing to speak before the largest crowd I have ever spoken to. I was wearing a microphone I was not accustomed to and felt a little Janet Jackson-like (for lack of a better visual image) with it fitting over my ear. I worried that the fact I had chosen to eat with it on and inadvertently jammed portions of my sandwich into it would affect the sound quality. I was prayerfully going over the program in my head, checking off the items that preceded my introduction. “I go on after the second drama”, “I go on after the second drama” I kept repeating to myself. So I was relaxed after one drama and then somewhat shocked to hear my name and what sounded very much like a introduction! What happened to the second drama? Yikes! Oh well, I guess I was heading on stage.

Sometimes we think we have life all figured out. We check off the list of what is “supposed to happen” in our life’s plan. Many times things don’t happen in the order we plan and we need to be prepared for what life brings us.
