We Make Our Plans, But…..
Being busy is a part of life the seems to come in seasons. There is so much going on with us this summer, that I have come to the conclusion that life just goes smoother, when I think about one thing at a time.
This weekend we- all 11 of us and a couple more- are going to Kingdom Bound at Darien Lake Theme Park. Now, I am planning what to bring, travel arrangements, meals, schedules, sleeping arrangements, and everything else that going away for a few days requires.
That is as far as I’ve gotten with my planning.
There is, however, much more going on than that. Two days after we get home, we leave to go to a Christian campground for a week. I can’t even begin to plan for that, other than to consider meals and time of departure.
When we get home from that, the little guys and I are going to another Christian camp two days later…..no planning yet, other than knowing when we are leaving and when we are coming home.
In the meantime, I need to get my school year planned out, shop with Shawn for the clothes he will need when he leaves on August 21 to spend the year with New Life Drama, write when I can (money helps make the plans go on), and be a wife and mom doing all the somewhat normal things I do.
Now, we make our plans, and God laughs.
Life is what happens when the plans are being made. Life is what happens when we aren’t paying attention.
I have decided to not pay much attention, to more than one thing at a time.
It’s working for me.
I am pretty much stress free……but then again, the stress of the day before we leave may get me yet.
Plans, yes. Prayer, more.
Please include me in your prayers, as I make my plans. I need them.
