In my office there is a little daily calendar given to me by my parents at Christmas as a stocking stuff. It sits between my laptop and phone. On most days I pay little to no attention to it. But last week, as I flipped and tore off the previous day and read the words, the words touched my heart...
"Life is what happens to us while we are making other plans." -Thomas la Mance
Planning for the future is thrilling for me. Planning every second of every day is just whom I am. It gives me a sense of SECURITY. PEACE. ACCOMPLISHMENT. WORTH...and the lists goes on.
As I repeatedly read the words to this 12 word quote, my heart aches. While planning can be good and wise, my heart and intentions many times are all wrong. My dependence on Jesus Christ shifts from the cross to myself. My focus on being a help mate for Jared and loving and caring mother to Ryleigh diminish...and the list goes on...
God's Word reminds me in Hebrews 12:2 "Fixing our eyes on Jesus, the author and perfecter of faith, who for the joy set before Him endured the cross, despising the shame, and has sat down at the right hand of the throne of God."
