lots to do…

~*~

It would be nice if your script this week was completely written out.  My kids are performing a few different places this week… which means a full schedule and many practices.  So I sit here mapping out our week… I am planning errands and rehearsals and meals for a family of nine on the go.  I look at the plans I have for me and think I have no room to do anything else.  But those are the “plans I have for me”…. I know that He has gone before me… every place I go He has already been.  The people I will come in contact with are all perfectly placed.   People will speak into my life and , hopefully, I into theirs.  Acts of kindness will be shared and received.

~just like that the neighbors, one farm over, call….  Can we bring them anything…please… they have the flu and don’t think they can make it even 2miles to the grocery.  This recent flu is like the worst one yet for sure… I spent many miles last week zipping supplies and provisions to different homebound friends.  Our neighbors are young and strong and for them to call us, means they are seriously down.~

It seems last week’s busy schedule is being matched by this week’s.  As I rework a few trips here and there… I think how nice it would be if someone else would organize this all for me.  But it already has been… how else would I be putting pencil to paper if not for all these opportunities which are now presented.  He is orchestrating it all. All I need to do now is show up.
