Back in the day I was a professional list maker… ask any of my kids. White boards, Poster Boards, notes in lunch boxes, you name it… I listed it!

I was always making grocery lists, laundry lists, homework lists and even vacation lists… I classed myself an expert!

Gone are those days… and gone are any lists… anywhere! I have a white board Calendar that never displays anything more than the days of the month that I rewrite each time the months change… that is as far as that goes.

At some point, things just became a long line of polls being knocked out from underneath my boardwalk, eventually leading to now… where most days find me adrift, on a piece of broken plank I’d been standing on when all the supports gave way!

When you go into what I refer to as “Survival Mode”, there is no need of any lists… just wait for the next wave and hold on!

There are days that I truly wish I could write a list and then “Poof” things would just begin to fall into place like a puzzle, creating something beautiful and lovely to gaze upon… but believe you me, I tried that and it was fruitless! 

There is freedom in surrender! I choose to take one day at a time, praying that my father continue to guide my path, as He faithfully does. Living this way causes the need for making lists obsolete!

I do not need a list to guide my path, as I have already found the light and He guides me fully, in all things!

Here, have a cookie…
