“Make a plan. Set a goal. Work toward it. But every now and then look around. Drink it in. ‘Cause this is it!”
Often times I become obsessed with the first part of this quote. I am great at making plans and setting goals! Working towards those goals is a bit scarier. Especially when they are not so easily accomplished, or when my plans are not sure to succeed. Sadly enough, even when those plans are from God I can question my ability to make them work. Or question whether or not God really is behind them. Undoubtably I can get stuck in the planning phase. Frozen by fear of failure.
But ofcourse, I’m reminded that I was not given “a spirit of fear and timidity, but of power, love and self-discipline.” Which means that even though the path is unclear and the road likely to be bumpy, I’ve got to start putting in the work. Stepping out in faith, and not holding back. Praying for His guidance. And trusting Him to lead.
So…I will dive in. Or ‘jump in already’ as my blog is titled. I will “look around” for His hand in opportunities. “Drink in” His presence. And work…
Oh yeah…
10 points if you know where that quote came from 
Sometimes I hate computers. I’ve been trying to make something work and the computer just won’t do what I’m trying to make it do. So…this post is just a test to see if I can use this illustration on another page.
We’ll see…
