Meditate on This!

I have been doing a ton of thinking the past few months as I work out the details of my life redesign.  I'm not sure what it will look like yet, I just know I'm headed in the right direction and that's part of the fun.  But I do wonder where it will lead me.

One thing I've noticed during all this thinking is . . .

 that I am always thinking!

Thinking, thinking, thinking...

Trying to work the details out in my head...

Trying to make sense of how it will all look...

and feel...

and function...

I think all day long about it.  

I wake up in the middle of the night,

and I think about it.

I say my morning and evening prayers

praying about it...

then thinking about it some more.

One morning I woke up with the thought in my head...

"Whoa!  You're right!" I said.

"Thank you!" 

I love it when the spirit teaches me!

I have been so wrapped up in my head!

And I wasn't stopping to listen.

I would pray for answers and then immediately be off

in my own head again, trying to reason it out! 

I imagine He might be trying to get a word in,

but I'm dominating the conversation!

The Lord's plan may be completely different

than what I think my plan should be like.

So I just need to stop.


And listen.
