Live For Today

Today at church I met someone exactly like me...

She planned out her entire life out months in advance,

she had a list of everything she needed to do every day,

and she made sure she was prepared for everything.

Then one day she woke up with cancer.

Something she didn't plan for.

Something that got in the way of all her other plans.

And there was nothing she could do about it.

This is me completely,

I plan everything months and months in advance.

I'm sure I drive Justin crazy,

because I plan vacations (among many other things),

8 months in advance.

I mean we already know our plans for Christmas...

Believe me,

I know it's July.

Now I don't have cancer,

but my son wasn't exactly a planned event. 

And it makes you evaluate all your other plans.

It changed everything I thought I was going to do.

This lady in church today was so inspirational,

because she said that,

at some point you just have to stop planning,

trust in God,

and just Live For Today.

That was the most freeing advice I've ever received.

Scary but very true.

Sometimes we just need to let go,

and trust that God has our best interests at heart.
