Back-up Plans

I had a realization today that I don't readily want to say out loud or even acknowledge. However, these are the things God puts in front of us to confront. Okay here goes. I need a back up plan or actually I want a back up plan for everything. I for plan everything even backup plans. Why- well I need to trust more. I want an extra this or that just in case. I actually want a little Jaguar I have had my eye on a few weeks so I can have a back up car. Do I really need a back-up car. Don't we need 2 cars? Back up plans for vacations, houses, dinners and I even think kids. I have always wanted a large family. I have backup plans for more kids. I tell my husband he is hard to satisfy always wanting more toys-electronics. But am I satisfied?, why do I need to back everything up. I think I am satisfied but I want to make sure nothing messes with my satisfaction. I am comfortable and I like being that way. I need to make God my only plan and I know that what he has planned for my life and family is the best whether it is small or large. I have a hard time throwing things away too. I might need it again one day or it is a backup. Some of this I attribute to being poor as a child. You never know when or what you will have so keep everything. I am so glad I married Noah- he throws everything away. (Of course I will never admit to him I am glad he does.) I don't want to be one of those people on TV on the next episode of Hoarders. BTW no backup plans for my Marriage. :) So whats my task for tomorrow- back-up substitute plans. I was out today and had no back-up plans. Ironic huh! Do you have backup plans?
