Proverbs 16
3 Commit to the Lord whatever you do,
and he will establish your plans.
24 Gracious words are a honeycomb,
sweet to the soul and healing to the bones.
I feel like i've been going through the motions lately, mainly at work. I'm just trying to survive rather than feeling like I'm going somewhere. I will be honest, sometimes I'm scared to ask God to layout my plans. I'm afraid where that might take me, literally I don't want to move and I know Gina doesn't for sure--truly committing to God means I should be open to whatever his direction is for us. I want to but I'm also scared to give up control.
The second verse just seems like something we need all over the US. From our President and other politicians to our posts on Facebook, Twitter, etc. I'm going to take this one with me this week and do my best no matter my situation to be genuine and gracious in words and keep my pride out of some up coming conversations.

Geez! Once again, you have completely nailed both of our situations. I am in the same position. I am COMPLETELY in survival mode. I had a meeting with my direct leader a couple of days ago, and I told her that I'm not doing a good job. There just isn't enough time to do everything. Stuff is falling off the table, and I can't grab it all. It really frustrates me. But, what I tend to do in this mode, is to complain and whine and try to control it all. When, to your point, I should be leaning away from it, and more into the Father's guidance. It seems silly when I write it down. Why don't I do that? Survival mode sometimes breeds bad decision making.
