That fresh new calendar and planner

I love a new planner and calendar. They are so clean and fresh and filled with opportunity and promise. And I love to take those clean pages and fill them with all the things I want or need to remember: places I need to be, things I need to do, people I need to congratulate, meetings I need to attend...

This year I have opted not to buy a Franklin Covey planner but rather use my Outlook and iPhone calendars to track all of those items. (Pray for me - I am going to try to sync them on Tuesday when I get to the office.) But the excitement is the same: adding dates and times and activities for a new year.

Over the past couple of years, though, it has been a recurring theme whenever planning occurs:
Don't ask God to bless your planner - ask God to plan your blessings!

So here we are at the end of one year, on the cusp of a new one. Time to turn the calendar page (eeks! I haven't even bought a new calendar for the kitchen wall!).

What new and exciting things will God write on my page? How does He want me to invest my time? Where am I supposed to be when?

So I'm praying that God will guide me and fill in the appointments He wants me to keep this week, this month, this year....

and what about you?
