Swings with Plans.

I couldn't handle it anymore..
The frustrations of today were catching up to me...
pretty much following me as I drove
home from the studio...
So I pulled over at the park..
Got out of my car...
and walked straight to the swings..

I started to get higher...and then
carelessly kicked off my shoes as far as I could
(haha I used to do this with my friends as a kid!)




The wind in my face and the shade from the
trees and the holes of sunlight beaming down
on me..



Those frustrations?



didn't follow me to the swing..:o)

Jesus had a lot to say to me while I was on this swing...
And I wasn't distracted...
so I actually listened!!


He reminded me of some promises.
Big promises.
Promises....He will never forget, even if I do.
(PRAISE THE LORD!)

One in particular...
that I need to hear every once in a while

That He knows the plans that HE has for me!
not..
I know the plans He has for me.
or..
I know the plans I have for myself.

But I am suppose to know NOTHING! ;o)
Which is good...because I don't!
Isn't it amazing?
My Almighty God can know! And I'll leave it to him...today...this evening as I write this...

I'll leave it to Him.
If you ever see me striving on my own....push me off my feet, please.
I need to remember that while on this swing...
I wasn't standing on my own two feet...
(He likes to hold us sometimes!)
And today..he held me.
Held me close.

And when I jumped off that swing...
My feet landed on new ground...(more like sand?!)
but guess what?

Those frustrations?
hmm...

not so familiar anymore!
;o)
