11/8/10 I would say I’m already to Plan S this month but last week even that
"plan" didn’t work. My new “hold on to your mind” plan seemed to be a “bust.” In the night, every time I would awaken, I’d remind myself, 3 Ss---don’t forget. Swimsuit. Sympathy card. Salad dressing. Half way down the street, headed to work----Oh no, I forgot my swimsuit with the sympathy card right on top of it. Turnaround required. Arrived at work at 5:35 am and all was good “til I went to put away my lunch goodies and I don’t even have the salad dressing. So much for Plan S.
I do know the basics of the best plan for my memory struggle. I need to D.A.N.C.E. through it. However, the steps for this dance seem somewhat complicated, especially when I feel silly asking for inane things like recovering lost/misplaced items (though I did find the black bathing suit)
Regardless of how I “feel” I need to continue to call out to Him. That’s His plan for me. You probably need that as well. Therefore, think on these verses today.
Then shall ye call upon me, and ye shall go and pray unto me, and I will hearken unto you. (Jeremiah 29:12)
Call unto me, and I will answer thee, and show thee great and mighty things, which thou knowest not. (Jeremiah 33:3)
I know you are an exceptional person, Dotsy, though we haven't yet had the privilege of meeting. However, it may comfort you to know that you are NOT exceptional when it comes to forgetting, believe me! For weeks now I've been looking for, wondering where I put, an exercise DVD that I ought to be using. And sometimes in the morning while I'm reading my Bible, something very urgent comes to mind. I mark the first letter of whatever it is on my hand, and get on with the Word...and spend half the day afterwards wondering what in the world that letter on my hand stands for! It was SO urgent! :-) I actually missed our church Bible study Friday night, it completely slipped my mind! And I didn''t even realize I'd missed something till Sunday morning when my pastor asked if I was ok, since I'd not been there Friday night!
ReplyDeleteI'm very grateful that God is totally otherwise. Since He even remembers each sparrow (Luke 12:6), and promised his chosen people that He would not forget the covenant He'd made with their ancestors, we can be sure that He will never forget to keep all the promises He's given us.
My good friend Charlotte told me Sunday at church that sometimes when we forget that God is just editing our words. Maybe He edits our lives and activities as well. I know it keeps me humble and more dependent on Him. I cannot trust in my own compentence.
