Do you make lists? I make lists for everything! I even have a list of what I want to write about here. But mostly I have “to do” lists. Because if I don’t have lists I get so ahead of myself I don’t finish what I start. Here is an example. When I turn on my pc I first open my email, but while that is downloading I open my blogs one by one and then open my bank page or my bills to pay pages, then while waiting for those to load I go back to my email and flag the ones I need to respond to. By then my blog pages are up so I click “log in” on each and while that is loading I log in on my bank page and bill pages. And I keep going back and forth because, (take big breath here) I cannot stand to have idle time. I learned a long time ago to make my time productive. But in the midst of all this productivity I lose track of everything that isn’t moving fast enough and as often happens with my bank page it “time outs” on me and I have to start over, thus another opportunity to get side tracked. So I make lists. Let me stop a minute here and make myself some notes of about 20 things I just thought of that need to be done today………..
OK, got those things in order. If you have trouble sleeping because your mind races with all of the things you need to do, then keep a pad and pen by your bed. When you think of something jot it down, then you can forget it and go to sleep. Lists are great for keeping your priorities in order also, make sure Jesus is at the top!
Oh yeah, why did I start this whole post? Because I wanted to share how something wonderful recently threw my near future plans in an upheaval.
April got engaged! Yahoo! We absolutely love Jeremy and will soon get to call him our son-in-law. We are so very pleased. But now instead of thinking of my Christmas day grocery list needs all I can think of is wedding plans! We have 5 months to put together the wedding of their dreams! Oh my I need a wedding list!

My congratulations. I am with you on lists!!!
I have had 11 wedding lists so far. Unfortunately each list was different. I would have been great (for me) if I could have kept one list. Blessings to all of you.
