My goal is to keep this a little more updated! I so enjoy the release I have each time I blog here because I talk about what’s on my heart or in my mind at the time. Even though I may ramble a bit, you all listen and sometimes respond. Believe me, my family appreciates it because then they have the edited version without so much emotion! LOL

Anyway, I was just trying to think of a title for this post…and then I realized that I usually do better to write my post and then title it and put it into a category. Because usually, what I end up writing about is very different than what I started writing about. I guess that is more of the SOTP writing that I’m most comfortable with. Which, when I think about it is VERY different than the person that I am.

I am definitely an ‘A’ personality. Everything is planned, done ahead of time and any kind of interruption, disaster, etc. puts me over the edge in my inflexible attitude toward life. Enter God, His word and His plan for my life. Now you get the picture! As I get older, I’m finally starting to understand this a little better, but I’ve had a few tough years learning what I need to to be the person God wants me to be. My two youngest sing ‘I Am a Promise’. If you know the song, one of the verses is “I can be anything God wants me to be.” Now, this song is speaking of a child’s potential which of course is limitless with God’s guidance. But in raising children, the emphasis should be more on what God wants them to be. We all have potential, but it always should be what God has in mind for us because He knows us best and He knows the desires of our heart.

So, this has been hard for me. The person that plans everything, tries never to procrastinate, wants a well-ordered life. God has taught me many lessons on learning to ‘go-with-the-flow’, change of plans at the last minute, learning to follow rather than lead. I think my writing has helped a lot with this…the books and this blog. I sit down, pray for whatever is on my heart and then I let the Lord lead.

After all, He ALWAYS listens and ALWAYS responds.
