40 Days of Giving Up: Day Twelve - Agendas

PictureThe window above my bed from whence comes the days agendas...
This is a picture of the window above my bed.  I often look up and out as I think about the day ahead...setting some sort of agenda.  I do my morning pages and then usually get on with the da

There are two agendas: ours and God's.  Whose do you think will take precedence?  "I want what I want when I want it" does not always work.  Sometimes I have to surrender to the fact that I am not in control.  I might have my agenda laid out for the next few hours, the day, the week, even the month or the year.  But I try to remember to leave some leeway in any agenda for the unplanned event.  The detour.  The fork in the road.  The crisis.

I was thinking about his today and thinking that, yes, maybe giving up on agendas.  But that wouldn't work.  I believe in having something in mind to accomplish during any given day....even if that something is nothing....like lying in the hammock and reading a good book.  Or sleeping with my little dogs in my lap.  That's a spot of heaven.  And it is a legitimate item for any agenda.

So today I have any agenda.  Some of it I have already accomplished.  I got out of bed (good start), fed the dogs and cat, had some breakfast, talk our morning walk around the neighborhood, did some yard-work, (a returning item to my agenda), wrote a business letter, and now I am blogging here.  That's a pretty full agenda.  I guess God liked it, because He didn't send any interruptions or agenda high-jackers my way.  Now its just afternoon so I can eat a bit of lunch before I go on to the afternoon's activities.  

Whoa, I just felt a wash of serenity sweep over me.  Cool.  Agendas: not just for work anymore.  And not to prevent you from what you (or God) really want to do with your day.
