What if? It's a question that can be applied to any situation, and can have many answers. it can be a good question, pushing your thoughts and comfort zone to new and exciting places. But it can be a distracting question as well. It can come up at random times, and it can be a distraction from your focus, and an ill use of your time. GOD gave us minds to use and glorify Him in their use and ideas, but He also asks us to have self-control (it's a fruit of the Spirit, and doesn't come naturally to me) in our lives, even our thoughts, though only you and GOD are privy to their content. Because I think a lot, of many different, and sometimes insignificant things, I must really use self-control to bring my thoughts back to where they should be and not daydream. I love to imagine, and to think different scenarios, because I like to write stories and that's what I write. But there is a time and place for daydreaming and imagining. I just need to learn how to keep my thoughts under control.
But asking what if, that sets me off in so many directions, a lot of time it has to do with my life, not stories, which can be a distraction in my real life. I have to remember that what I'm living is my life, an original and that I must live it wisely if it's to have a great ending.
And that's what I want, to have a great ending, but that can only be written by the Author of life itself. I must everyday give Him the pen of my story, and follow His steps, and trust wherever He leads me is for my good and His glory. I pray one day He will be proud of the story I had, and I pray you too will have a great story written by the same Author.
