More Drama Than A Junior High Dance

Drama. we all expereince it from time to time. I'm not talking Shakespeare either. I'm talking moments in life when everything gets crazy. Had one of those weekends Friday and Saturday. I'll spare you the details but give you my thoughts on it.

One moment in time. That's what makes a difference in some people's lives(not the song either). One choice, one mistake, one good decision...these are what define our lives at points. They point us in a direction. Sometimes one bad decision can change the course of a person's life and possibly change the world. The exact same truth applies to good choices as well. Consider Hitler and Abraham Lincoln.

There's a movie that I enjoyed watching in high school. It was a rough movie and I wouldn't recommend it because of the content...but I did get something out of it. The Butterfly Effect is a movie where a young man is able to read some of his old journals and is able to go re-live that moment in time that he wrote about. Not only can he re-live it but he can change what happens. Once he snaps out of his "reliving time" he comes back to reality...but his reality has changed. By changing one moment of his past, his entire future has changed...different college, different personality, everything has changed.

I like this because it shows that our decisions we make on a daily basis can effect our future paths and what will happen to us. It reminds me to keep my focus on God. When dramatic moments come...I want to make a good decision that has positive effects on my future...not negative. Don't let one moment in time mess with your eternity. So many people do this in moments of pressure, stress, and drama. The moment will pass and you will have to deal with the consequences of it. We need to decide right now that we are not going to let anything, any drama or situation mess with our final reality...heaven and life eternal with Jesus.
