My Organizational Self

I am always trying to plan my life out. Even after I discovered that this practice is as futile as herding cats I have subconsciously continued determining how my life will proceed for the next month, semester, year. More than discovering the uselessness of life planning, I have found that I want my life to follow the unknown, organic, Christ-led path that I always end up fighting against. Curious, isn't it? Luckily, I am constantly reminded that planning and preparing are two separate things and my elaborate plans are lately cut down before I get too attached to them. And I am making progress. I know whole-heartedly right now that I have no plan for my life after graduation. However, I am opening myself up to different ideas and preparing so that when June of 2008 rolls around I will have some sort of occupation/next step. A difficult concept for the subconscious planner but one that I am warming up to increasingly because I am finding secrets and treasures in the nooks and cracks that I had tried to fill in with all my planning. Which has turned out to be more rewarding and exciting than the spot-on execution of any one of my perfectly organized plans.
