Proverbs 16:3 Commit to the Lord whatever you do, and he will establish your plans.

Happy Monday and hello all!

It's been an awful long time since I've spent time with this screen. (aka where I type/format this here blog)

As majority of you know, I stay crazy busy. I usually don't have a lot of time to sit down unless I'm sitting during class and grading papers or working on assignments for the 105 8th grade students I spend my days with now. I have been wanting to write, I just haven't really had much to say. I always have a lot on my mind but just getting them out into words is the hard part. 

"Your heart can't catch up to your performance, but your performance can catch up to your heart."

Sometimes we put on a show. Sometimes we act like we have it all together but we really don't. Sometimes we get things all figured out and planned out, and we go to act on them... but we haven't really considered God for any of it. We haven't checked to make sure our hearts are in the right place. 

If we seek God first, and commit to Him, He will establish our plans. He will line things up for us. 

Sometimes we do things for the wrong reasons. We get hurt, we get wronged, we get confused, and we think that God has just left us hanging and so from here on out we make our own decisions. 

I've done it. Many of you have done it. 

Whether we admit it or not, a lot of the time we do things for the wrong reasons... we put on a show and our performance and our heart aren't in the same place. 

Something I plan on trying, from here on out, is to really seek God in all I do. I want to check in with the Big Man up stairs before I start making decisions and the control freak (that I try to hide) tries to seep out. 

I want to make sure I am searching HIS will for me and my life. I want to follow and lead Him lead. 

take a second today, just think about some of the decisions you have made and are making and see if it was you making that decision or something God was leading you to do... are you doing things for the right reasons or because you feel like you have lost control and you are trying to take back the driver's seat...
