A professor once gave us an analogy that certain disordered children see the tree and everything on it, but cannot see the forest. Meaning, the child is so detail oriented (e.g. tree branch, leaves) that he/she cannot see the big picture (e.g. forest).
Lately I have compared that to my spiritual life/relationship with God...whatever you would like to label it. Sometimes I become so focused on the forest I forget about the little details that have gotten where I am today. I find myself beating myself up about certain aspects that I forget to look at what God as used/done/using/doing in my life up until this point.
My point you might ask? I believe it is beneficial to look at the "big picture". However, don't forget the "little details" that have helped and will help me achieve the "big picture".
Note to self:
-Do not drink a Route 44 before/during class...TORTURE.
-Celebrate that midterms are OVER
-Enjoy the spectacular FALL weather.
