One Of Those Off Nights

Sunday, February 10th, 2008

Do you ever just have one of those off nights? I do…probably more often then I should. It’s not necessarily that something went wrong to make me have an off night, often it creeps on and by the time I realize what’s going on it’s too late. I have already engulfed myself into deep waters of saying the wrong things, over reacting, or reading into things much more then I should. I hate when I do this, I can honestly say that when I get into one of these moods I am one of the worst people to be around. Instead of just acting obliviously in my crazy mood, I see what I’m doing. So half the time I’m frustrated with myself for the way I’m acting, and then the other half of the time I’m just plain acting insensible.

These are the nights I need the most grace my friends and family can give. These are the nights that I need to hear that this is just a mood and that they know that in just a little bit of time I will come out of it soon. I need to know that they will not define me in these moments. Tonight was one of these nights. I’ve been drowning in everything that I have said or done. Lord help me! Give me wisdom in knowing how I need to handle others and myself in these moments…. Do you ever feel like this? You’re not alone. Know though that this is just a mood and it will be gone soon enough.
