Best laid plans

How much of my life do i really plan on? Yesterday I had a good time of quiet and listening to the Lord and I again made a list of what makes one day great. These things are what i would love to do each day. I have found that when i do these things i am productive, happy and at peace:
*get alone with the Lord early
*run at least 3 miles in the morning
*study or learn
*work
*eat dinner with family
*roll on the carpet with kids
*drink decaf coffee with my wife in the evening

Of course life almost always interferes with that perfect little pattern. Last night Stephanie and I were up with Caleb most of the night as he tossed his cookies all over our bed and struggled with a really high fever. After a night of almost no sleep i have finally made it through the day. Not a perfect little day.

the question is: has Christ been able to live through me today inspite of all the pressure and problems? Do i still have a peace? Joy? Love?

Yes. Christ is indeed in me and lives through me. thank you jesus for being with me on the days when all my best laid plans fall apart.
