My "just in case" plans..........God's Plan A.
Pull up by my bootstraps mentality........God's strength.
Walk in my own way.............Walk worthy of the gospel message.
What does it look like when I make poor choices and depend on self rather than God? The visual answer is below.
I either run out of steam temporarily.....or I burn out completely.
Brother Buddy reminded me that I was embracing a little too much of "Mildred's" busyness/do it all for everyone persona. I tried to explain that I was being "other-oriented." He reminded me as I choose to be God oriented, He will help me say no when necessary.
The Lord will direct me to be "others-oriented" on His guided path. (Proverbs 3:5-6, a Bro Buddy fave)
Where He guides, He provides---with time and strength. I think I just heard an "AMEN" from my brother!
