There is value in planning and preparing

Day 10 of 21


This is a little glimpse into our refrigerator. You can see my lunch bag is all set and ready to go, usually John's is beside mine but he is working from home so no need for his bag, and frankly a good thing, not sure there would be room. 

I talk a lot about preparation and planning.  That has been key for us. We make it a point to say at least a day ahead of our meals, prep in advance what we need to and and portion out what we can so it is easy and ready to go when we need it.  In the end the time that we spend preparing not only helps us stay on track it saves us time in the long run.

Everyone has their own way of doing things, this works for us and it has helped us stay 100% on track and committed, its working and so we are sticking with it.

Make no mistake, its not easy. There is a lot of thought, preparation and time that we have collectively invested.  And that is all good because we are WORTH every precious minute. And we are reaping the benefit of it in the results that we are already experiencing this early in the cleanse.

So here is a glimpse into our day:

No matter what I can always find Joy in the Journey

This morning I did my prayers and readings in my prayer room and then went outside to enjoy some time in the backyard oasis while I shared my reflections on today's Jesus Calling by Sarah Young.  And today's reading always reminds me of one of my favorite books " Hinds Feet on High Places" by Hanna Hurnard. I believe that the journey to the mountaintop, the experiences along the way, the gorgeous views and the beauty that it seen on the climb enriches the experience not only along the way up and when I get to the top and take in the beauty of God's nature all around me.  It also fortifies me for the climb back down. While I would love to stay on the mountaintop, I know that I will have to make the trek back down.  And what a blessing to take it all with me on the way down and and beyond for whatever comes next I am back in the valley.

Today's resounding message in my morning readings and reflections is to let go of control and to trust and surrender all to the ONE who created me and as scripture says .   "For I know the plans I have for you, says the LORD, plans for welfare and not for evil, to give you a future and a hope.  Then you will call upon me and come and pray to me, and I will hear you."   Jeremiah 29:11-12   Can you relate? Trust and Surrender
