I am guilty of this as well---unfortunately, because I have been conditioned to be so, because it HAPPENS that way. Sometimes I feel like a lab rat: whenever something good happens, I get an electric shock. Now I feel like I've reached the point where I'm afraid of getting good things because I know the electric shock is coming too. And it's happened so often that I can't help but think this way. Example? This past weekend, I had an awesome worship experience with my church choir, and left so happy. An hour later, I found out my aunt died and my world was shaken up YET AGAIN. I know God has a plan in all of this, but His plan doesn't always involve sunshine and gumdrops.
