I found myself thinking of life in a plan A- plan B mindset. This last weekend, I think life is more of a journey on a plan rather than two plans to choose from. I thought if something bad happened along my way then somehow, I had ventured off of the safe, quiet, calm, perfect plan. "No," I say to myself, "my life is one plan, one path, one venture, TO FOLLOW MY LORD." Where ever that leads, I must be content to know that if I am attentive to His lead, I will follow.
The biggest obstacle I find is that my life is mixed up, snagged by, enhanced with, so totally joined to OTHERS. Maybe that is what the scripture is talking about when He says we must leave father and mother, husband and wife, brother and sister, to follow Him. Becoming individual in a world where we longed to fit in. We are geared for communication, for fellowship, for unity, and then he throws the idea at us to follow Him is leaving everything behind.
Anyway, I shall close this and move on to my next post about my wonderful valentine banner that one of my daughter's made for me. Sherry, you will love the pinks and reds in this. I may just bring it with me on Thursday so you can see it.
