This morning I found myself in a shower thinking of all sorts of things that I needed to accomplish. My mind rushed through all of the moving pieces we have to get accomplished somehow while down here. I then switched over to thinking about pushups and how I feel behind this past week while bouncing around and how I had some time to catch up while staying in Santo Domingo. I’ve been trying to do about 300 a day for my goal of 100,000 this year and when you miss days, 300 adds up quickly. So, as I was thinking about that the words “take care of today’s first and worry about the surplus later” came to mind. Immediately I thought of the verse in Matthew where it talks about not worrying about tomorrow for tomorrow has enough worries for itself. Therefore, I set my mind to being diligent with the things I needed to accomplish today first and then see what else there was to do after.
Tomorrow I have a busy day of getting a team in, helping a team leave, getting groceries for 15 people for a week and ohh yeah how about try to buy another van…and another truck 🙂 So, I wouldn’t mind having some prayer that God would take care of our needs tomorrow. He’s gone ahead of us so often to prepare the way already so I have confidence that we’ll get done the things He wants us to and if we don’t get something done, then He probably has a better plan. In the meantime my goal will be the same. Be diligent with what He has for me tomorrow and not worry about the next day.
As a head’s up for those of you praying and supporting me, it looks as though there is a good chance I will come back down in mid-march through mid-may but I will tell you more about that at another time. Please be praying about that decision.
