You were talking to who??
I know it can't just be me. Is there anyone else out there that finds themselves making up dramatized conversations in your head with people that are far from being in the same vicinity as you? Lately, I've found myself doing that a lot, making up a situation that might happen with someone, putting myself in it and pushing the play button. When I step back and take a look at what I'm doing it's pretty ridiculous, because the situation would probably never happen, much less the exact conversation. Although, If my imagination was a reality TV show there might be some subscribers. Maybe that's why it's so engaging to watch drama on TV because everything is a little more thought out than a typical conversation in real life. Most of the time we can't plan out our lives before they happen, and I doubt my thoughts alone will affect anything else in the world. So, when my mind drifts off into it's own exciting world and I start to get a little stressed out with what to say next, I have to remind myself....It's not real. It's best just to live for the here and now and let the experiences of each day change who you are deep down inside - for the better. That way, when you run into some drama in your live, you might actually have something worthwhile to say, instead of wishing you would have planned it out a year before.

Hey Jonathon!
I do that all the time. Accept it is more like I reflect on things that already happened and try to replay them. And sometimes in the confusion I end up not remembering what really happened or what was my imagaination. So, yes, taking each moment a step at a time and remaining in the Lord (so He can help us!) is definitely the better thing. Sometimes, our imaginations are more exciting though!
we all need to talk to ourselves, and sometimes just "rehearse our lines."
I can't even begin to tell you how many nights I've laid awake rehashing my day and wishing I had said something better. Or I think of a good punchline way too late to use it. Oh well, I guess it happens to us all?
