Life is all about a planning. We always have a checklist of items left to be done, when one thing is finished another is added. This endless cycle fools us into thinking we are accomplishing something, but in reality it is to mask our inability to rest. God has been teaching me a lot on this subject.
What is real rest and how do you still manage to accomplish what you want?
I haven't come to a conclusion on this quite yet, but i am learning that people and situations in our life help us realize we don't need to be in constant planning mode. There is a balance to everything, if we rest too much nothing will ever get accomplished but if we forget to stop and enjoy life's little blessings we will never receive the full joy God has for us.
I feel the need to have a plan and i have panicked when i let myself think too much. I grasp for some type of plan hoping that i will stumble into happiness. Lately I have begun to realize that sometimes the best things aren't on a checklist or 4-year plan. If you let it, you can be surprised with the amount of joy a unexpected outcome can bring. These last few weeks God is showing me the power in letting go and trying not think too much. Being a planner is good to an extent but there are so many blessings in letting go of your fear for awhile. So let go, and rest in the fact that when there is seemingly no plan that you can find happiness you never expected.
