Can I just admit here that I am a bit of a planner??

Life has been a bit crazy and challenging lately, though, and I've been feeling stressed. Stressed about what-ifs in life, stressed about missing my self-imposed deadlines, stressed about not being in control of things.

But, you know what? That's life, isn't it? Life is crazy and challenging. There are mountains and valleys and everything in between. And, I can choose to let myself get caught up in it all, trying to stay current, trying to catch up, trying to breathe.

Or...

I can choose to breathe deeply, release control, and let God direct my steps. It's not my plan or timetable that matters. It's His.

So...here are a few bits of His beautiful creation that I am choosing to enjoy amidst the chaos.
