Things To Do... And Learn!

Do you ever have those days that you know you have stuff to do but you just don't do it? It's not anything pressing and there's no one to make sure you have any of it done at the end of the day. And you know that you have all day tomorrow or the next day to do it. So you just sit on your booty and don't do anything.

Well, that is partly true for my day. I took Wilson for a walk. I ran 20 minutes this morning. I did my quiet time. I made brunch for Brent before he went to work at 11:00. All of the must-haves were completed. Then Brent went to work and I took a nap. Here I am. It's 1:40 and I've not had a shower. (Yes, I probably smell real good since I ran this morning...)

Now I have a list of things I could do: get a KY license, register my car, go to those last five schools and drop off resumes, find a vet for Wilson, and get a birthday gift for Brent.

The only one that sounds the least bit appealing is the shopping. My decision is made. For the sake of feeling like I did not totally waste my day, I'll get his present. (Can't say what it will be because he reads this. And yes, I have ideas! ) Then I can read Yada Yada Prayer Group #3 for own nightly entertainment since Brent is working late.

There's one more thing I must share. It's on the Living Proof Blog. Amanda, Beth Moore's daughter, talks about doing things over. I feel that way right now. I'm getting a chance to do over my first chance at marriage to Brent. (The first chance was League City, TX. The second chance is Crestview Hills, KY.) Just like Amanda says in her post, I'm getting another chance at a better attitude. And God is working on me through it. He's making me realize that I must solely depend on His grace. His love. His mercy. His patience. I cannot live life by myself... only with Brent... or even with all the wonderful people that I meet. Life ONLY works through Him alone! I can plan my life all day long, but it is all in vain if it does not consider His plan for me. I must depend on Him to steady my anger, deal with sarcasm, and change me.

I want to be made new, Lord! I want to know you more! I want to live life the right way... YOUR way!

So I am right back where I started. I don't totally know what I am doing today. And who knows what the Lord will teach me?
