We all have those days, and it sucks when you have them. And when you see someone else have them, it's so easy to say "shake it off" because at that moment, it's what you would do. You're not having a bad day. A roommate just had his $700 bike stolen from the driveway today. Bike lock was cut clean in half. Man, that sucks. And...I almost feel guilty for having a good day. I bought a $50 ring from Wal-Mart to cover up the tattoo on my finger at work. The guy I'm training with informed me he had a spare ring I could borrow/have (not sure on that). So I tried returning it two days ago and they wouldn't let me because of a small technicality. And sometimes I go with the flow a little too much. I understood the technicality, and I walked away, but then I thought "That's $50 I'll never see again spent on something I am not going to use". So I went back today and successfully returned it.
Life throws you curves. And let me tell you this, it is not because you're a bad person, it is not because God is "punishing" you. Bad things happen to good people, bad things happen to bad people, good things happen to good people, good things happen to bad people. That's just the way it is. But you have to trust that no matter where you fall in that spectrum, God is still there and is still in control. It may not seem like it on days when you get your bike stolen, but He is.
