Getting your ducks in a row...

This is Dawdle. Dawdle Duck is his full name. He is so photogenic and belongs to my sister's "Funky Flock". 

It's funny I got to see him today because the phrase that I felt over the day was "get your ducks in a row". 

We spent the evening eating dinner and watching the ducks and chickens run around. Let me tell you, it would be no small feat to get ducks in a row. They seem to do it much better when they're babies, but as adults they are hilarious and not the most coordinated creatures. 

What I realized about getting my "ducks" in a row is that you have to start that process some time prior to when you actually want them in order. It's kind of like the taking the next step and finding the next trail blaze mentality. Rome wasn't built in a day, so when you feel the pull to do something big, obey the smaller pulls to start getting the smaller things in order that will make that big thing happen. When God puts these smaller things on my mind, I am going to go for them because they are part of making the bigger thing happen.
