i farted and wild monkeys flew out of my butt??? would i be surprised, well maybe, but the question is just as silly to me as the self-fulfilling prophecies and plans made contingent on outcomes over which i have no control.
although i am fairly certain i do not have a colony of winged feral primates living in the lower recesses of my bowels, i still can project entire courses of action based on outcomes i cannot control. i delude myself into thinking that if such and such happens then i will feel, well i do not know, better. i also delude myself that maybe if i had enough friends, or money, or toys that i would feel happy. the truth of the matter is for me, is that yes i can make a plan or two, but i have to have the FAITH in GOD that the outcome is exactly the way it is supposed to be whether i like it or not! i also have to allow myself the COURAGE to face whatever it is that is going on in my life and see it through, whether i wish to see it or not.
so what i guess i am trying to say to myself this morning is make plans based on what today already looks like, and look to the future with the FAITH that GOD will provide me with everything i need.
