Living in the Present

Being a planner that I am, I always seem to jump ahead.  I seem to always think about the future and what the Lord's plan for my life will be.  I think that it is safe to say that any girl can be guilty of doing this.  We begin to a timeline as to when things will happen and God laughs.  He laughs because he has it all planned out and we don't have a clue.  

It was yesterday that I realized that I had been focusing way too much on the future and not being content in the present.  I have realized that what the Lord wants to do with my life is all his.  I want to do it all in his timing and not mine.  I realized that I need to stop planning and to start listening.  

So...

Today I am rejoicing in this beautiful weather.  The sun is shining, the birds are chirping, and the warm weather has started to approach us.  I am going to sit and listen to what the Lord has  for my life.  I spent the morning embarking on this wonderful life that the Lord has blessed me with and read his word.  He has continued to teach me that being with him is all that I need.  

Right now in my life he has blessed me with the opportunity to go to college.  In my textile design class we are getting to design our own fabric and have it shipped off to be made.  I am so excited to be doing that.  My inspiration for my fabric is this fun apron found at Anthropologie.  

The Lord has taught me to be content with the present and not get wrapped up in the future. 

"So teach us to number our days that we may get a heart of wisdom... Satisfy us in the morning with your steadfast love, that we may rejoice and be glad all of our days."  Psalm 90:12-14
