Today is November 25th. This entry will not be posted for 30 days.
I realized by the time this is posted, it will be Christmas Eve. That day, I should be busy preparing dinner for my family and opening my home to all 20-something of them (it's different every year).
Yesterday was Thanksgiving. I have a lot to be thankful for. We all do. Yesterday I prepared dinner, shared it with people I love, and then spent the rest of the night finishing out certain traditions. One of them included waiting in an abnormally long line at Starbucks on the plaza in Kansas City and then watching the Plaza Lighting Ceremony. It really gets me in the holiday spirit. Then, I made my way over to Target for some Black Friday Shopping. Santa came early this year as I got myself a 40" LCD flat screen television. I've never been one to be interested in big tv's. However, after living with a 9"...then a 20"...and most recently a 32" that was given to me, I figured a very inexpensive 40" was the way to go. I also picked up a few other things for other people...but I'm excited to hook this puppy up!
The last 48 hours I've had a lot weighing on my mind. The future has been brought to the forefront of my thoughts and I can't think of anything else. Which, the fact is...it's devastating. Not the future, but thinking of having to wait for the future when I'm thinking of it in the present. If that makes any sense... I hate to be so excited about something and then know I have to wait for it. I need to try to steer my mind to thinking about something else, but nothing else seems as important. Maybe the feeling will taper off and give my mind a rest leaving only fleeting thoughts of the sort so I can get some things accomplished. The thing is, I'm a planner. A big one, actually. So my thoughts usually include trying to plan my "next step" which is impossible considering my steps are already ordered by a God that knows how to get me to where I'm going better than I do. So, while I plan, He has better ones. So I need to stop thinking about it. I need to just let God do what God does best and trust that every step to getting me to the place I see will be perfect and timely. Oh my mind...such a torturous thing sometimes...
8 days left...and the world will know what I've been up to the last 30 days (as if they really care).
