A man with a plan...

Happy Thursday gang! Hope your week has been going well. I'm having one of those "Plan B" days, where I've had to adapt to what my body gives me to work with. I've been doing better with the sleep cycle, gradually getting to bed earlier and consequently waking up earlier. My plan for today was to fly my glider in the morning, get allergy shots in the afternoon and then head to the gym. But I needed several more hours sleep than expected and I'm just now really starting my day...

Funny how lately I've been telling myself I really want to step it up for 2014 - to better address areas of my life that have been on the back burner. I have a book to write, a condo that desperately needs some maintenance, tax issues that are pressing... I want to see if I can make money - with my photography or even using my long dormant computer skills. And I just don't want to continue to be alone. I think I do a pretty good job of flying solo, but I've been on my own long enough! Geez!

But all that stuff just feels so overwhelming right now. If I can get in a workout, run an errand or two and have a little fun on Facebook, that usually constitutes a full day for me. How in the world can I tackle all this other stuff?! Frankly, I don't have the answer... As long as illness dominates my body, it's simply going to be a struggle to do the simple things. And I'm just grateful to be doing as well as I have been!

However, I still believe that God has a bigger vision for my life than what I can see on a day like today. My job is not to fret, but rather to do my best with what I have to work with and trust God to provide whatever energy, strength, healing, resources and guidance necessary for me to live the life He has planned for me. Funny, but after thinking about that, I don't feel so overwhelmed after all... :)
