The Insignificant Details
Today I started at the new office. My commute was surprisingly not as bad as I had envisioned, the work load was not nearly as bad as I had thought, and the doctors were all much nicer then I had been told. All in all, it was a successful day.
I knew that I would be “unplugged” going into today. My normal routines of checking in on Twitter, Facebook and gchat would no longer be an option in my new position. (What can I say… Im addicted to the social media scene!) I was surprisingly okay with the idea and managed to get through the day without many withdrawal pains. But as I sat down tonight and plugged in the laptop I realize how much had transpired today.
Through that same social media scene that I thought I could live without, I learn that a friend has lost his mom today. I immediately pick up the phone and call him. As I listen to him recount the last few hours of his life I can’t help but think about how much we take for granted.
I have been stressing and worrying so much over the last few weeks about this new position. I became so consumed in the details of the transition and worried about how the lack of control would effect me. I took for granted that the opportunity was there at all and that I had a choice in the matter. I obviously had no way of knowing what the future would look like but that didn’t stop me from spending countless hours worrying about it.
Tonight I have Josh in my prayers as I realize how insignificant my new office is…… when you think about the big picture. I also pray that all of us will understand that God has all of this planned. We worry ourselves sick over details, when at the end of the day it was never in our control to begin with. Which, honestly, it much more comforting then any plan I could come up with.
