Balance your crazy....

This is what I was trying to do yesterday, and as I'm still trying to get used to a constant blog, yesterday's thoughts remained unspoken.

Sometimes that's a good thing though. Crazy will plague you're existence. It's a side effect of sin and the human nature. I'm sure that if the bible had every word that God ever spoken, crazy would have shown up in the curse on mankind in Genesis 3. Ok, maybe that's a little extreme, but what ever you call it, crazy, drama, high school, ect. it's still part of life, and sometimes it would seem a little more with the single life.

Once you're married, you only have to deal with you're family's crazy (including spouse and in-laws) And for some that's more than others. But singles seem to get a whole world of uncontrolled crazy. With marriage you know the bubble, you have a definition: husband, wife, parents, children, in-laws, etc. Singles often deal with the unspoken tension of crazy. The "he-know's-I-know-but-neither-of-us-will-say-anything" kind of tension and you go on with this unspoken crazy unsure of how to change it. And there isn't anything that can be done, except balance the crazy. For every chaotically tense crazy moment in your world, have an equally chaotic crazy moment of giggling with close friends. For every tear you shed over the drama of someone not returning your feelings, have tears of joy. Remember It's never wrong to feel, it's just wrong to let yourself become so consumed by one emotion that you forget the others exist. Cry out to God asking why. He'll answer, you just have to be willing to wait on all the crazy between the question and the answer. The "and" can be a very long wait. But just remember to balance the crazy, it will do you a world of good.
