The Definition of plan is, “scheme or method of acting,
doing, proceeding, making, developed in advance” there is nothing wrong with
making plans. GOD seems to be trying to
teach me when my plans fail and they do, that they are nothing more than my
plans, they aren’t his plans. I’m
guessing that I’m not getting the point.
It is also embedded in my soul to be organized, my soul is happy with I
have things organized, and that definition is “functioning in an orderly way or
according to a plan”. Oops it all goes back to that word, “PLAN”. Don’t get me wrong, there is nothing wrong
with making plans or being organized, it helps me along the way to make sure I
achieve what needs to be but when my plans fail and it my biggest frustration at
that point it is wrong and it shows that I’m not trusting GOD that he is
capable of dealing with my life, as if he needs my help. God knows what plans he has for my life and
what plans he has for Jeremy’s life.
Jeremy started out a sick baby caught everything, from the
age of 3 to 10 he just got normal & occasional childhood illness and I
would say with what he started with he was overall healthy. These past years have been tough because he
gets sick easily, and this past year it seems like it’s been a constant theme
in our house. He started a fever on
Sunday so we figured he was trying to fight off an UTI or possible his strep,
but he was out of school all week. Sunday
night he was very restless, moving his right leg like crazy but he has restless
leg syndrome and actually takes medicine for it. He had PT on Monday and apparently his knee
was red & hot to the touch. I asked
about it being infected, but no obvious infection. I figured probably aggravated by therapy but
by the time I got home and looked at his leg it was horrible, red, swollen (felt
like a balloon) so off to the ER we went.
The ER did blood work, X-ray and US of the knee. There was no fluid in the knee. My plan that night was, I have a nurse until
midnight so I am going to get some sleep.
We got home from the ER about 11:30pm, with diagnoses of cellulitis, script
for antibiotics and follow up with our doctor the next day. If that infection was to break loose or keep
spreading, it would have spread like wild fire and Jeremy could have been
septic. We weren’t out of the woods yet,
and the next day his knee didn’t look any better, not worse so the PA felt like
we needed to be admitted. My plan on
Tuesday night was to get home, go to bed since I had a nurse until midnight. My plan was to have a nurse on Thursday,
Friday & Saturday and get to do some shopping & relax on my
thanksgiving break but since Maxim’s big ordeal and cutting us loose that wasn’t
going to happen.
I have learned through the years (with some input from my
Pastor Mike & his wife Karen) that Proverbs is a chapter of wisdom. In fact Proverbs 1: 2-7, to know “wisdom and
instruction: to discern the sayings of understanding; to receive instruction in
wise behavior; Righteousness, justice and equity: to give “prudence to the naïve,
to the youth knowledge and discretion: a wise man will hear and increase in
learning and a man of understanding will acquire wise counsel: to understand a proverb and a figure, the
words of the wise and their riddles: The fear of the Lord is the beginning of
knowledge, fools despise wisdom and instruction. Then Proverbs, 3:5, to not lean on my own
understanding but to always Trust God. I
need to seek his way, his words, his wisdom and the right path for my
life.
So, how did I get the title for this blog, interesting and
it comes from living life in Jeremy World which includes, the crazy Mollie
cat. God knew I needed an extraordinary
child, one to keep me humble and focus on what was important. I started last week with the thought of
needing to do a blog post and I know GOD gives me these words &
thoughts. I kept going back to the word
plan but wasn’t sure what direction to go with this, my first thought was whirlwind
but I have to give credit to Mollie the cat for her train-wreck she created for
me on Saturday morning. Mollie was doing
sprints all through the house, thumping & jumping on everything I imagine,
jumped on the bed and then my head. I walk into the living room to see this and
think, Yep this is the theme, so train-wreck came from Mollie’s part. My long term plan is to write children’s
books about the adventures of a boy and his cat.
Enjoy Mollie's visual effects and her contribution to the blog....
