What's the plan?

There are days lately where I don't recognize anything about the world I am living in. I have to believe that God knows exactly what is going on, and has a plan for how I am to walk through these difficult times.

This is what I understand the plan to be.

• Take responsibility for my own actions, debts and burdens.


• Live my life with the highest degree of integrity possible with the help of His indwelling Spirit.


• Don't let the sun go down on my anger...since this is hard for me right now because of the actions of the government, I try to translate it into action and communication. I can't call it MY government.


• Try to show kindness to friends and strangers alike.


• Find some humor every day - it IS good medicine!


• Learn something every day - exercise the gray matter.


• Spend time in communion with him and taking in uplifting music and thoughts.


• Be a professional in a job where I am confronted with very liberal ideas at every turn. Treat my coworkers with respect, and kindness.


• Try to live a balanced life - faith, friends and family, job, responsibilities, fun. Due to the lack of in-person friends right now, the fun part is sometimes challenging, therefore hard to relax. Most of my friends appear to be of the cyber variety. I have lots of acquaintances but no one really close. After years of personal traumas and struggles, loneliness seems to be my biggest one right now. 55 and single just pretty much is not great! OK...done whining...just had to vent.

What I have added to my life is political activism ( http://www.the912project.com/ , http://tiny.cc/teachers , http://tiny.cc/protestwear , http://tiny.cc/taxdayteaparty827 , #tcot, #redco, #hhrs, #rush, #glennbeck on http://www.twitter.com/ ).

I am still a novice activist, but a small attempt is better than no attempt. That is the only way I can live with myself. This country is worth saving for the next generation. Tea Party in Tampa 4/15 is my next event. Where are world events headed - I have no idea. But God does and he wants me to spend time in prayer and interceding for my nation and it's leaders and those who want to lead. That's a reminder to myself.
