I used to do a lot of longer-term planning, but for the last 2 years I feel like God has been teaching me to trust that he has the plan, so I have been more focused on doing what I know to do each day. Over the last 2 years I wasn't doing much long-term planning. During that time I grew a lot in my ability to follow God's lead each day. But, lately I feel like he is prompting me to do some longer term planning again. Planning with God can be a great expression of faith. 

I really feel like he has been showing me that the most important part of what we are doing with the Abundant Life Blueprint is building a community of people who are doing it together. And part of building this community is tightening up the systems and calendar to keep everyone coordinated together which means looking out further. 

Something new we are going to start doing is having a monthly challenge each month where we pick a topic that we are all focused on together and then we will break that topic down throughout the month and share our progress. 

In today's communion we are asking God to help us plan like him. He is the master architect, designer, and planner. Jesus is the lamb that was slain before the foundation of the world. God already had the plan in place. And specifically, I am asking him for the longer term plan for the Abundant Life Blueprint to help us build community the way he wants. 

Today's Health/Fitness Tip

Part of a successful workout is also planning. To truly be successful there needs to be cycles and progressions in place for the longer term. You can't judge a workout by one single day in isolation. It is the series and progression of workouts over time that matters. Something I have also been working on for a few months is phases and progressions for the Daily Communion Workouts. Hopefully, we will have more on these soon. 

I am praying for you.
