My planning process went smoothly at first, but leading up to actually starting, I felt uncertain and behind. It's nice to know I'm not the only one just going on ahead - ready or not!
“I make all these plans to serve my children, not to have my children serve the plans, so if it turns out that they’re not what we need, then I’m ready to let them all go and start over.” Man oh man do I need this reminder about a lot of things in my parental life-especially liturgical living/prayer and schooling
"I intend to hold the plans loosely, fully prepared to drop them altogether if necessary, in order to keep my focus where it needs to be. I make all these plans to serve my children, not to have my children serve the plans, so if it turns out that they’re not what we need, then I’m ready to let them all go and start over."
Lots of wisdom that you've shared here. Thank you! You had me at the 'planning woes' part - especially the 'woe' part. So many changes happening within our family here, that it has been hard to shift into the whole planning thing.

Me too! God will accept our offerings and multiply our loaves and fishes.
I love that analogy! Going to keep that with me.
