when things go wrong

How do you handle things when they don't go as you planned?

I don't handle it well.

Tonight's service was a struggle from beginning to end. It was a night I felt was well planned - but the elements just didn't flow in a manner that made sense. Too much this too little that.

So following the services we reversed the order of things and worked on what we could to try to prepare well for Sunday. We will know in the morning if our work will take care of the problems that plagued us tonight. Meanwhile I'm praying for the God to be honored!

I don't have trouble admitting when I make wrong decisions or mistakes, but I get very frustrated by them. I forgive others well, but, not myself. Sometimes I wish my work wasn't so public and it didn't affect so many people.

I would love to hear about how each of you handle disappointments and how public your work is for others to see?

control freak

I didn't realize I was such a control freak, but I am.

Even when I am supposed to be on vacation I HAVE to know what is going on back home and at work.

I am scared of making mistakes, I worry a lot and that doesn't speak highly of my faith in my Lord sometimes. To think that worrying about anything is worth a moment of my life is ridiculous. So I will try to let go, not call, not text, not bother anyone trying to find out if I forgot to do anything that makes their work more difficult!

Do you find it difficult to detach, to walk away realizing you could work from now to kingdom come and not have everything done? Or, am I the only one that spends my time worrying at times?

What worries you?
