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.
