Preparing for tomorrow, today

First off, I am super tired. We went down to the lake yesterday to visit my mom and dad. You may remember them - my dad was the one who brought the pontoon boat last year for our Midtown camping trip. Captain Bob is his name. Well, I am super tired. But we had lots of fun! It was a good time.

After we returned from the lake, we had to head to the store. We went to the ATM and got our cash out for the store trip, and what do you know? We only used half of it. Using cash rocks!

Tonight, I am mentally preparing myself to be ready for tomorrow. We will have to get up 10 minutes earlier to make our lunches (something we are used to doing M-F just not on Sunday) my hubby will need to put a Coke in the fridge for me to drink to stay awake, and I need to get all my stuff together to take for FPU. Side note, my hubby has to ration out soda for me. If he doesn't hide it and bring one out at a time, I will drink it all in 2 days. I know, temperance and all that jazz - I should have the self control to not drink it all - but I don't. So my hubby lovingly helps me in this area! It's kind of silly, but it's true.

Anyways, the whole point of this post was to 1. remind you that you need to bring your lunches tomorrow and 2. to point out that planning is going to be key for your success in FPU.

I know, I know, planning seems, so, well, boring, right? Well, it may be boring, but I also like to think of God as a planner. Some of the key verses God used to draw me to him involved ways he planned. When I read in Isaiah the prophecies of Jesus' death - and then found the fulfillment in the Gospels some hundred years later, I was awed because I never knew that any of that was foretold! God is quite the little planner eh? Seem as boring now? Granted, we will not be able to plan perfectly. That's not what I am saying. I'm just pointing out that to plan should not be seen as boring. It should be seen as something good - and of course the plan should be something that God can change if He so desires.

A good verse (imo) for planning?

Proverbs 3:6 In all thy ways ACKNOWLEDGE him, and he shall direct thy paths.

I was going to develop this more, but I am beat. Have a great night!
