“Challenge: Daily Devotions for the Common Christian”

There is a way that seems right to a man, but in the end it leads to death. Proverbs 14:12

I have an appointment coming up and I had to check when it is. I’ve got a few days but I’m already planning out that day. What time I’ll have to leave to get there on time. I remind myself what floor to go to when I arrive. I know I’ll be seeing at least two people. Should I take the highway or the side roads. I’ve got three options to get there, one I certainly don’t want to take. That route causes too much stress even if it’s a shorter time frame.

It’s a simple question with a lot to unpack. The first thing to consider is what you think of as defective?

For countless people with ADHD, feeling defective is a way of life. It’s a part of who we are. When our mood is good, we feel special and sometimes superior in some aspects. We can hyper-focus like crazy or we can tackle multiple projects at the same time. We call these our super powers. To the outside world, they might as well be powers bestowed from the heavens.
