Perspective on Drama

Let's chase Jesus. We get so incredibly involved in the saga that has become our lives. Drama is fine, we are young it is supposed to be there. But don't allow that drama to become the foundation for your life. That is, don't let it make your decisions for you. Live your life. Don't let the drama sidetrack you from your calling. Don't allow yourself to stop dreaming, just because there is drama in your life. Don't allow yourself to get sucked down into a place where all you see or think about is whatever that 'episode is' - and I don't care how big that piece of drama is.

I don't say all of this without understanding. Believe me, I have had my share of drama. And I have allowed myself to lose sight of what I am about. Not anymore. I am going to chase God, chase my calling, my dreams and my responsibilities. We get sucked into a place where we begin to think and see in such a tiny way.

If you are in this situation. Just stop for a minute. Grab an old journal or something, get your Bible and go find somewhere to spend some alone time. If it is the Upper Room - good. (Personally, I find that place is not always the best to avoid drama, but if you can then go for it.) Find some alone time. And just think about your life as a whole. Read over some journal entries about the calling and purpose that you have discovered. Look at where you have come from. Look towards where you are going. Read a little bit. Read about David and his drama, before he became King. Read about Joseph - do you think after he sat on his throne that that pit thing was a big deal anymore? Pray and ask God to restore to you some perspective. Ask Him for His opinion about your life and where it is right now. (Don't pray about the drama, we are escaping that for now.) Just stop, take a step back from your life and look at where you have been, where you are at and where you are going. And then praise God, because everything will make a little more sense and at the very least you will not feel quite as overwhelmed about the overwhelming drama in your life.

Trust me it works. Other than that, just keep living life! Have some fun!
