lent day twenty eight

Well, although Spring Break has been fabulous, I haven't done much in the packing/organizing arena...It makes me laugh to read my posts that were gearing up for this break.

Still plugging away (in a good way) on the New Testament.

I guess the other thing that has been significant is that the mindset I have tried to have regarding the Sabbath (which is basically
1. getting everything done that I can,
2. trying to prepare my heart and life as best I can and then
3. giving myself permission to let go of those unrelenting tasks for Sundays)
has kind of spilled over to this week.

I am not allowing myself to get all balled up about things not going according to my plan.

I am not allowing myself to worry about things during times when I need to be in the moment with my family.

I am not allowing myself to feel torn between the things that aren't getting done and the things I am doing.

I am not allowing myself to be overtaken with feelings of entitlism or worrying that things may be passing me by.

And it hasn't been a big fight to do that. That is the amazing part for me.

I am still going to work on things...I am still going to plan....I am still going to have goals...but if things happen as they sometimes do, and I don't accomplish everything :-), I will adjust, regroup, reflect, and start over. That's the plan for now, anyway.
