Crazies on Display

Everybody's crazy. However, in normal life we hide/control/restrain our crazies. Only the truly privileged (i.e. spouses, parents, closest friends) get to experience the crazies. This system works out well for everyone involved. Here's the problem: sometimes the crazies escape - then they're out there for everyone to see. Tonight some of my crazies escaped in the form of irrational frustration/tears. Yuck. I'm sitting here trying to figure out what led up to this breach in security, & I'm thinking it's just being tired. This whole getting up at 5 to leave by 6:15, then not getting home until 9 or 10 at night does not work for me. The good news is I'm done with that schedule for a while. The bad news is there were witnesses to the breakout, & if you were one of the innocent bystanders, I'm sorry. Now it's time for me to go pour out my crazies to God. Thank you, Lord that Your grace is enough for me...and my crazies.

Verses from Philippians

1:21: For to me, to live is Christ and to die is gain.
2:1-11: If you have any encouragement from being united with Christ, if any comfort from his love, if any fellowship with the Spirit, if any tenderness and compassion, then make my joy complete by being like-minded, having the same love, being one in spirit and purpose. Do nothing out of selfish ambition or vain conceit, but in humility consider others better than yourselves. Each of you should look not only to your own interests, but also to the interests of others. Your attitude should be the same as that of Christ Jesus: Who, being in very nature God, did not consider equality with God something to be grasped, but made himself nothing, taking the very nature of a servant, being made in human likeness. And being found in appearance as a man, he humbled himself and became obedient to death— even death on a cross! Therefore God exalted him to the highest place and gave him the name that is above every name, that at the name of Jesus every knee should bow, in heaven and on earth and under the earth, and every tongue confess that Jesus Christ is Lord, to the glory of God the Father.
2:14-15: Do everything without complaining or arguing, so that you may become blameless and pure, children of God without fault in a crooked and depraved generation, in which you shine like stars in the universe.
3:7-8: But whatever was to my profit I now consider loss for the sake of Christ. What is more, I consider everything a loss compared to the surpassing greatness of knowing Christ Jesus my Lord, for whose sake I have lost all things. I consider them rubbish, that I may gain Christ.
3:12-14:Not that I have already obtained all this, or have already been made perfect, but I press on to take hold of that for which Christ Jesus took hold of me. Brothers, I do not consider myself yet to have taken hold of it. But one thing I do: Forgetting what is behind and straining toward what is ahead, I press on toward the goal to win the prize for which God has called me heavenward in Christ Jesus.
