So there I was…
So there I was… sitting in front of my computer wondering what I was going to do next.
I had just attempted to save a document that I had been working on for about an hour. After hitting “Save” the pop up screen went down and then popped up again. Again it was asking me if I wanted to save the document. Looking in the folder I could see the document name that I had just saved and I had made no changes to it so I clicked, “Don’t Save.” I immediately went to attach it to an email and there was nothing there.
I just sat staring for a bit and in that time so many things went through my head.
“How could you let that happen?”
“That was stupid.”
“Can the document be recovered?”
“Who can I call for help?”
“I wonder what I can find online.”
“That was stupid.”
It can be so easy to get so negative with myself. However, it hit me pretty quickly that I can’t talk down about myself and celebrate how good God is at the same time. Truth is, I mess stuff up. Not just computer documents but life in general. We all have. However, life doesn’t get better when I proclaim to myself how bad I am—when I beat myself up. Nope, life only gets better when I celebrate how good God is in spite of what I lack.
Good News: God is worth celebrating even on bad days and it is that celebration that will get us through those bad days. Oh, and I was able to recover most of the document. Look at that, another reason to celebrate!
In Him,
