Check In The Box Gal
It was brought to my attention that I just might be a "Check The List Kind of Gal". Now you might be asking what exactly does that mean. This kind of gal or person is someone who has a list of things in life and their goal is to check one off at a time and go to the next, check and keep going. For example.......
college,check,
job, check,
marriage, check,
babies, check,
better house, check
better job - check, and so on.
As I thought about it more, it really started to bother me. These type of people just want more and more. Nothing truly satisfies these people because they constantly want more. Once a box is checked, it's on to the next thing. Now don't get me wrong, it's not wrong to have goals. But I just don't want to be someone who tries to plan out their whole future. I want to be trusting God in the here and now and allow Him to work right where I am at. Whatever box HE lets you check off, thank Him for that and be grateful. But don't live life unsatisfied because you can't reach one. Maybe God doesn't want that for you right now! I am going to try and throw my list away and allow God to direct my life!!! I have a feeling His boxes are much better!:)

WHAT???? THROW OUT THE LIST???? ARE YOU MAD WOMAN??? I am just kidding good for you!! And such a good point you made!!
You bring up a really good point Amy! Sometimes I think those of us who are overly goal-oriented sometimes have a hard time simply appreciating where life takes us and the delight that can come from experiencing something unexpected...something not on our list. :)
