Don't take everything so seriously!! You are an extra!!!

I am going to start by telling you that I am a Christian and it is my belief that God is the center of everything so if you don't agree with me this post may not be for you.

This morning's sermon got my brain a pumping and I wanted to come to the big blue chair to write some of it down.

The gist was that we often times place ourselves in the lead role of our lives when in fact we are merely an extra in the big picture.  I guess I better do a disclaimer now for the people who are convinced that the sun rises and sets on their pointy little heads.  It...doesn't.

God is the lead role, whether you want him to be or not he is the focus of this story.  You are but a blip on the timeline of life but God is a constant.  He has and will always be there.

Stop getting so caught up in the stress and drama that is your every day life and start placing the focus where it should be.  Imagine yourself to be in a movie and God is the lead role.  If you started talking over God's lines the director would yell CUT!!!  because some crazy extra had lost their ever lovin' mind and they were making it all about them!  You would be fired on the spot and sent on your merry way.

If you will stop focusing on the things that bother you or worry you and focus on what God would have you do, your life will be much richer!  I'm not saying that life will be perfect and there will be no pain.  We live in a fallen world, pain is inevitable.  I am saying that your life will be focused on light, not darkness, and that will put you on the right path.

Be a blessing to those around you.  A joy to have come in contact with.  A bright spot in an otherwise dark day.  Be kind.
