What does it say about my frame of mind when I'm sitting here eating Tang powder with a spoon?
I need advice.
Without going into details (which is odd for me, so please don't ask, although it's going to be hard to help me if you don't know. Just try anyways.) I need to know how to react to a potentially emotionally stressful situation. Don't worry, it's nothing really serious, my marriage is fine and no one will die because of this, but it could reduce me to one of those "face-down-in-a-bag-of-chex-mix" moods for a while. Of course, as of right now, the situation is only in my imagination. But you know how sometimes you can see the signs? Well, anyways, I have seen the signs and basically I just want to be able handle it gracefully with the least amount of stress and tantrum throwing. I've come to the conclusion that there are three ways to handle this:
A) Wait it out and see if it will be sudden and painful or so gradual that I won't even notice. Of course, if it's sudden, and I don't do anything, there will be a period of time where I'm going to be very sad and eat a lot before I get over it. If you haven't noticed, I'm an emotional eater. Or I might cry, and Steve hates that. Or both, and I really hate to eat when I'm crying because I get a stopped up nose and I tend to drool. Yeah, there you go. Pretty.
B) I could just start the process myself and get it over with. However, if I'm wrong about everything, it will make me look like a complete ass and not only that but I might end up making someone mad. Personally, I'm kind of tired of looking like an ass, and I don't like to make people mad unless I can turn it around and make the person feel bad for getting angry and then get diamonds or chocolate out of it later.
C) Get a pet otter to take my mind off of things. I like this idea, but Steve doesn't.
If you were faced with a situation that could upset you, which one of these would you pick? I know you probably think I should just wait and see what's going to happen, but it's the waiting part that is driving me crazy. It's like riding a rollar coaster blindfolded and going up and up and knowing that the drop will be coming soon, but not being able to see it. SIGH. Why can't I just be clairvoyant and know everything? It might be boring, but it wouldn't be as stressful.

Kelly,
It sounds like you are asking for advice on how to respond to something that you think is to happen in someone else's life. I suspect it is someone that you care about. I am going to assume that this person is doing something wrong or not doing something right. Since you admit that it is only in your imagination, and that you want to be able to handle it gracefully if this comes to pass, then I recommend you deal with it in prayer. Since God knows whether this will come to pass or not, specifically seek that God would show you his will for you in this matter. Matthew 6:25-34 and Luke 12:22-31 deal with worry and anxiety. Verse 34 states that the troubles we have today should be our focus. Since tomorrow may never come, neither may tomorrows troubles come. Hope this helps.
