Well, I have really fallen short of blogging these past couple of days...I just couldn't get to it. "Allow to suffer lacking"...I'm reading (or re-reading) a book "Choosing Rest by Sally Breedlove in which she talks about being willing to allow things to go undone...ouch! That's really hard for me to do. I am an uber-driven-get-things- done-cross-it-off-my-list-kind of girl, and to leave something undone nearly undoes me. But there comes a point when you can't get everything done and sometimes you have to allow things to "suffer lacking"...yup the world did not come to a crashing halt because I did not blog (yes I do realize just HOW ridiculous that sounds...but I am that type A about everything!) So, where does this lead me...
"We find rest in the incompleteness of the present moment as we learn to recognize the goodness of what is and as we trust that what is needed for the future will be added at the proper time." (p.26) Wow! love that! The goodness of what is...being thankful for right now and not going into panic mode about tomorrow. Sometimes life lessons come crashing in with alot of clarity when I don't want them to...when I'm busy scratching things off my to-do list....but I'm so thankful this week my to-do list was left undone...maybe I'm learning something!
