Well the bright, new, shiny year is half way over...and that drastic change I was expecting didn't come. But that is how life rolls. I am learning, and probably should have a long time ago, that we cannot wait for the next season without fully enjoying and learning from the one we are in. If we are only living in anticipation of what is to come, we miss out on what God is doing NOW. Another thing I am currently learning is that I need to stop planning. I try so hard to know where I am going and what I will be doing next. Somehow tomorrow never looks like I expected it to though...and if tomorrow is so far off from my mind, how could I possibly be correct about one year from tomorrow? It makes me laugh thinking about how we are always doing this...trying to pretend we know what God has for us, trying to control what tomorrow will be. God is infinitely powerful enough to direct my path. I need to learn to just let Him. A friend once told me that in the Lord's prayer we pray for "our DAILY bread"...we ought to ask God to provide for us today, and when tomorrow comes ask Him to provide for tomorrow. SO, today's goal...ask God to make today good, and to provide what I need for now, and know that tomorrow He will do the same.

love this! we all need to be reminded to let go of our worries and planning and just be content in what God is doing right here, right now. A lesson I am learning as well, being content and happy in the process and not simply anticipating tomorrow. Also, i think if we let the process happen, we find ourselves slowly chaning into the new season we were waiting for all along ;D
