Full contact origami....

When things don't make sense. That title right there, doesn't make sense. Life, it doesn't always make sense, ya know?
That title "full contact origami" came from a really good application essay for some kid trying to get into college (I must give credit where it is due) and it was part of our chapel lesson today given by the great Jon Ensor. Remember that name. One day, you will know him. Whether you hear him speak or read a book he writes, you will know who he is one day. He is that awesome.
So he spoke on when things aren't what you expect. You wouldn't expect origami to be a full contact activity, would you?
I feel like that could be a title to my life story or a book I could write. I write one in my head. Chapter by chapter title, page by page, it is being written. Maybe I will share it one day.
No, but seriously, so far my life has not been what I expected. Some of those are bad, some good. Some just different.
I will admit. I don't like change, unless it is my idea. But most of the change I experience is rarely my idea. I really don't like when things don't go my way. "Expect the unexpected" is a phrase on the show Survivor and when it is part of a game, I don't mind it much but throw that bad boy into real life and "houston, we have got a problem". Me, no likey.
Looking back on all my "unexpected" and reflecting on it all has allowed me to grow and be who I am today. Do I wish I could grow in a less painful way? Um, heck yes. But they don't call it "growing pains" for nothing ;)
I go to the hematologist tomorrow, trying not to "expect" anything, then maybe I will be more open to change, if that be the direction the Lord takes me tomorrow. We will see. I am suiting up for some "Full contact origami" I can tell you that much.
Time for Glee!! Have a great week.
