It's Going to Be Okay

What a week, month, year it's been. Time seems to be flashing by so fast, as I try to keep up with turning the calendar pages it almost appears as animation. And it's not just the speed of life events, but the intensity is magnified as well. 

And that is how it was today as I left a week's worth of intensity in meetings, in pulling together responses to other meetings and in planning for another huge statewide meeting next week. Other obligations loom over other obligations set in near impossible deadlines. So it is always smart, logical and calming to get it out and down on paper...list after list of activities to accomplish the goals. 

So with a mind swirling with plans and a hand filled with lists, I launched into an unsettled sea of accomplishments after work today, mapping out locations to complete the greatest number of activities in the shortest amount of time.  I pulled in to the parking lot to complete my first task, grabbed my list, closed the car door and looked up. 

Right before me was a great big white letter "K" smack in the middle of a brushstroke of blue sky. It was as if God needed to get my attention with a giant lovenote in the sky that said, "It's okay, I've got this.....everything is going to be okay..just trust me." 

Then it dawned on me that in the midst of my rapid planning in which I was taking on the burden to try to control and accomplish everything, that I did not stop and simply ask God to help me....give God control over all time and activities...allow God to steer my path....and consider how I was fitting in God's plan.

Time to let go and let God in the driver's seat. He has a plan, and everything is going to be okay.
