whoever looks at the clouds will not reap.
~Ecclesiastes 11:4
I'm a really good planner. I plan and plan and plan. I do my research, gather facts, talk to experts, and comparison shop for supplies. I can plan all the live-long day, but when it comes to digging in, and in this case, I literally mean digging in, I have a hard time getting off my buh-hind. I think it's that fear of doing it wrong mixed with a dash of lazy that keeps me from doing the physical work necessary to accomplish my goals.
The other day I was playing around with a new phone app I installed called "The Goddess Tarot". I reflected on my question, which was "What do I need to do to move forward with my fitness goals?"
I drew Nine of Pentacles.
Instantly I smiled. She's in a garden! There's a mountain behind her, some tough work if she's going to climb it, but right now she's not even worrying about that. Her attention is on the dove lighting on her fingertips, and she has a serene look about her. To me, the dove represents the Holy Spirit.
This was just a little sign to me that I'm on the right track with my plan to let God worry about how the work will get done and to get myself in that garden and start digging! I need to stop fretting about that looming mountain and set my eyes on God.
