Fight or Flight

I do not think for the most part I would be considered a fighter, flighty YES.  As I was watching a TV show with the kids the other day there was a scene that struck me!

This girl was training for a marathon, funny part was she had a tape of dogs barking to make her run faster.  The girl tells other girl "I run faster if I think that the dogs are going to eat my face off!"  Well there it is.  The nugget of truth of how I live my life.  

I am a planner, however, sometimes to get things moving "the dogs" must be nipping at my heals.  Is it that I am waiting to see that the plan is in line with God's plan?  Is it that I am waiting for the easier plan to come along?  Is it that I do not think I can accomplish what I set out to do, so I wait for the "dogs"?  So I have lived this flight (movement) way so long.  


Maybe fight is the mode of planning that I need to move to?  I think I have proved to myself that I am able to handle the hard things, the important things, the big things.  So what is the plan to be?  I am thinking life is a Marathon set up in sets of a lot of sprints.  


I shall "sprint" today to the the next place to rest.   I hope the "dogs" are resting, cause I know to let "sleeping dogs" lay.
