Plans Changed...

I knew today was going to be a beautiful day, I have been looking forward to it...the weather says it is going to cool down and looking into the upcoming forecast well....I knew I needed to make the most of the day. I'm starting to lose my color, looking pale, albino"ish". I got around did my posting, my emailing all things computer related. Got my bag together which consisted of towel, journal, book and pens. Here I come sunshine.

Well guess again, by the time I drove to the island, picked up my mail, said "hi" and treated myself to a fresh baked scone at Twisted Sisters I was more than ready to sit and do some reading and writing. I might add...not in anyway related to "school days" reading and writing. Then it struck me, my stomach was really hurting, for going on a second day now. It rapidly became very clear, no beach chair for me today...

I remembered praying this morning and asking God to put me where He wanted and doing what He wanted me to do... snap, I am guessing He wants me home and resting. I decided I needed to be obedient because I have learned if God wants me someplace, puts me someplace that is not what I wanted there is always a reason for...most generally when He has me home resting it means something is coming that I am going to wish I had been obedient and rested when He tried to get me to.

Reality is, it is just as sunny at my house as the beach. It is just as peaceful...the only thing I don't have is well, sand, water, waves...crashing waves at that, wind...which blows sand everywhere. I can always tell which of my books I have read at the beach and my journal looks like it has been through a war...oh wait, it has...a spiritual war. That is where my safe writing takes place, thoughts, fears, dreams, regrets...my journal carries it all. How many journalers do I have here? If you haven't started today is the day...even if it is a sentence it is a wonderful place to start. Get all of that built up "stuff" out and put it on paper. Don't like to write? Use the recorder on your phone and record it. Either way is such a release to everything and anything you are going through...more than anything, when God changes your course for the day remember, He has a plan!

Now time to hook up with my journal... go out and live Boldly, Bravely, Brilliantly and Blessed!
