Today I know who I am and where I am going!  I’ve discovered that the secret of “doing it all” is not doing it all!  It is finding which part of “all” He has given us to do and then doing all of that! In other words, find out what His plan is and stick to it, knowing that it is guaranteed by God Himself.

Next month:  Recognize the value of rest

A personal note from Mary:

When planning any trip, every Southerland knows that a family meeting is bound to take place. In that meeting, every family member offers suggestions and gives ideas but the final plan is left to Dad - the Plan-maker!  We are content with this scenario because Dad has an excellent track record for making great plans. So does God. He stands ready and waiting to pour His blessings through the perfect life plan He has customized and guaranteed just for you!   Don’t settle for anything less!
