if you didn’t know this already, plans is my middle name.  i like to plan everything.  my closest friends can attest to this.  everytime my mom and i go on a trip, i literally write a minute by minute itenerary just so we don’t miss anything.  when i’m at school teaching, i usually spend half of my planning period writing out the rest of my day minute by minute.  it’s kind of pathetic. and if i do this for my day to day plans, you can only imagine how much i’ve planned out my entire life.  but anyways, i’ve been going to this women’s bible study at calvary and last night we got on the topic of not making long range plans for your life and trusting that God has a plan that’s incredibly way cooler than any plan you could come up with on your own.  i used to have a good friend tell me all the time that i planned too much and it was going to bite me in the hiny one day, and it did.  and last night it just hit me how true it is that God literally laughs out loud when we start making plans for our life, because he could throw us for a loop at any time.  a year ago i would have NEVER thought i would be in albuquerque, nm right now and i’m guessing that means that in a year from now i may not be where i’m planning on being.  but it’s been refreshing to see that it’s completely OK.  if i’m not exactly where i think i should be at exactly the moment i think i should be there, i’ll probably be just fine.

so this may be boring to some of you, but it was just on my mind after last night, and i thought i’d share.  Ok, talk to ya later!

p.s. – i realize i wrote in lower case for this whole blog, but i’ve had an exhausting day and i just didn’t feel like holding shift down.  sorry if it bugs the crap out of some of you.
